The Mourn'n bird sings for a new day
A day that brings the flowers a bloom'n
Or is the bird singing for those who pay?
Those paying for stuff thez ain't doing
The bird be watching from a far
Thez be watch'n over the land
Thez be watching for those who be forced to keep their feel'ns in a jar
The bird be watch'n for those under the upper hand
The bird be waiting on the rail
Thez who be daring flock to it
Thez be a sour'n thru the rain and hell
The sun of the morning has been lit
We have found the mourn'n bird
The bird who has been a sing'n to us since the dawn of day
Thez be fly'n across the land to make sure thier song be heard
The mour'n bird sang for a new day
A new day that was a brig'n the new flowers bloom'n
Or was the bird sing'n for those who paid
For those who paid for stuff thez wern't doin
