Lyrics:
Yellow bird takes flight
Through a haze of perplexing sights
About a dozen chained-down lobotomites
Who have wealth in trade for their human rights
The ground made his talons hurt
Much harder than soil and much colder than dirt
Slipped in the sweat of an overworked
Low salary man full of hunger and thirst

Down below, an amber glow ignites
All the gizmos and gadgets hissed and then he took flight
But the worker, far distanced from day and night
Stared so empty at the screen, and it's blaring blue light
The little bird noticed there were nine at every cubicle
With several being wheeled out like a twisted pharmaceutical
The scared little thing tried to whistle something musical
The worker blew his brains out, he was just another numeral

Work is good
And love is bad
This is what
We teach our class

Work is good
And love is bad
This is what
We teach our class
Contract doesn't
Pay for cries
Extinguishing
Soul and spite

Little bird
So bright and live
Flying up
Far in the sky
We only leave
When we die
Then they turn us
Into dimes
