the birds

Franz Ferdinand

What release
From judgement
Back into the flock
Another mangey Pigeon
Pecking at the crumbs
From the bums
Of George Square
Anonymous
As anonymous as no-one

No, the birds don t care
What the birds have done
That this one s here
Or that one s gone
We all do things
That we wish we hadn t done
Thank you for accepting me
Despite what I have done

Is that what we want
To be with
Others who know
Who understand
Who we are
What we ve done
I say fine
What about it
You ve done time
Oh the time s been done
We all do things
That we wish we hadn t done

No, the birds don t care
What the birds have done
Thank you for accepting me
Despite what I have done
Thank you for accepting me
Despite what I ve become
