lyrics

Hey little birdie, do you like the view?
This whole room is yours to do what you do
The cage just for bed time, aren't they quite the saints?
A lesser would never be this loose with their restraints

This room is nothing more than a big fancy cage
Where your life is a play and this house is your stage
You feel like there's more out there that you can go do
But they quiet you down cause that just isn't you

Be free little birdie is what they all say,
As long as your freedom is found
Locked in this cage

Listen to your elders they know so much more
Their old rules and values that they so adore
Their world hasn’t changed, and neither shall yours
A life with out loss but disease with out cures

Hey little birdie now what’s with the look
The world’s what you liked so that’s what they took
Those apathetic eyes that hold no more life
Nor dreams of a future, no dresses no wife

Don’t run little birdie, your wings are their prize
They treasure your singing but quiet
Quiet those cries

Be free little birdie is what they all say
As long as your freedom is found locked in this cage

amazing collection of songs and discography was too good not to get it all. i don't care for alot of the songs since my passion is mostly instrumental dreamwave, spacesynth, synthwave and outrun 80s stuff.. but ALOT of genres of music period are present here and thats what makes it all good 👍 Shane Dangers
