Don't you wanna be a bird?
Don't you wanna sing and fly?
Don't you wanna even try now?
Don't you wanna even try?
Don't you wanna be a bird?
(Don't you wanna be a bird?)
Don't you wanna sing and fly?
(Don't you wanna sing and fly?)
Don't you wanna even try now?
(Don't you wanna even try now?)
Don't you wanna even try?
(Don't you wanna even try?)
Cause the world is full of sickness
And together we can fix it
Paint ourselves into this picture
Do whatever we can think of
Everybody be a bird
Don't you wanna be a cow?
Don't you wanna be that now?
Have your own milk and drink it
Believe in your own wishes
Cause the world is full of sickness
And together we can fix it
Don't you wanna be my girl?
(Don't you wanna be my girl?)
Don't you wanna be my girl?
(Don't you wanna be my girl?)
Live together in a picture
(Live together in a picture)
Do whatever we can think of
(Whatever we can think of)
Don't you wanna be a bird?
(Don't you wanna be a bird?)
Don't you wanna sing and fly?
(Don't you wanna sing and fly?)
Don't you wanna even try now?
(Don't you wanna even try now?)
Don't you wanna even try?
(Wanna even try now?)
Everybody be a bird...
Bird, bird, bird...
