See the blackbirds play
I wonder what they would say
About the confining way
We've created our lives today
It suffocates my mind
Oh, and it suffocates my soul
It totally blocks the light
Oh, and it troubles me day and night
The way of this world
The way of this world
See how the blackbirds fly
They almost make me cry
I wish it were me outside
But my wings are tied
It suffocates my mind
Oh, and it suffocates my soul
It totally blocks the light
Oh, and it troubles me day and night
The way of this world
The way of this world
Look at the children play
If only we'd stay this way
But innocence changes to madness
The root of my sadness
The root of my sadness
Oh, and it suffocates my mind
Oh, and it suffocates my soul
It totally blocks the light
Oh, and it troubles me day and night
The way of this world
The way of this world
Why do we make it so hard?
Why do we make it so hard?
Why do we make it
Why do we make it so hard?
It suffocates my mind
Oh, and it suffocates my soul
It totally blocks the light
Oh, and it troubles me day and night
The way of this world
The way of this world
See the blackbirds play
I wonder what they would say
About the confining way
We've created our lives today
It suffocates my mind
Oh, and it suffocates my soul
It totally blocks the light
Oh, and it troubles me day and night
The way of this world
The way of this world
