Sweet Bird Of Truth

6 o'clock in the morning & i'm the last person in this plane still awake
Y'know I can almost smell the blood washing against the shores
Of this land that can't forget its past
Oh the wind that carries this plane
is the wind of change
heaven sent and hell bent!
over the mountain tops we go
just like all the other
GI Joes EE-
AY-EE-AY----adios!
CHORUS This is your captain calling--"with an urgent warning"
We're above the
Gulf of Arabia--"our altitude is falling" &
I can't hold her up--"there's no time for thinking"
All hands on deck--"this bird is sinking"
Across the beaches and cranes
rivers and trains all the money
I've made--bodies
I've maimed
Time was when
I seemed to know
Just like any other
GI Joe Should
I cry like a baby
or die like a man
While all the planets like wars start joining hands
Oh what a heaven--what a hell!!
Y'know there's nothing can be done in the whole wide world
I don't know whats wrong or right
I'm just a regular guy
with bottled up insides
I ain't ever been to church or believed in
Jesus Christ but
I'm praying that
Gods with you when you die!!!
