Miniature Birds

Westward course of empire has got
its wheels turning faster and on to disaster
so long, long, such a long way to go.

Riding up on a high horse looking at
all the soldiers and the holy rollers
so long, long, such a long way to go.

It didn't take that long.

I could be reasonable, I could fight,
I could have at least been a little bit wiser
so long, long, such a long way go.

You know when those miniature birds
sing an ignorant song the choir's
putting us on tiral
so long, long, such a long way to go.

Riding up on high.

It didn't take that long.
