I've been living by the corner of the street for years Where the younger boys and girls meet up After school trying to act so cool As their mopeds and their heartbeats speed up
Oh, the times I've wasted Oh, the times I've wasted
Spending countless days and eves on top Of the boot and shoe repair shop Making plans for conquering the world With my latest brand of indie-rock
Oh, the times I've wasted Oh, the times I've wasted
But my country drowns in wealth And I've got excellent health
So I'm a feeling like a bird I'm a bird, I'm a bird I've been feeling like a bird Been a bird ever since my birth Till someone's gonna shoot me down
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird I've been feeling like a bird Been a bird ever since my birth Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down
For a life time been thinkin' about life and fate Been avoiding all the big decisions Sitting by my computer screen If I'm tired of it there's television
Oh, the times I've wasted
Sitting by the step for someone to stop When it looks like I'm waiting for the sky to drop With everyday that's slippin' away I'm stuck with just a lil' less time to say
Oh, the times I've wasted Oh, the times I've wasted
But my country drowns in wealth And I've got excellent health
So I'm a feeling like a bird I'm a bird, I'm a bird I've been feeling like a bird Been a bird ever since my birth Till someone's gonna shoot me down
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird I've been feeling like a bird Been a bird ever since my birth Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird I've been feeling like a bird Been a bird ever since my birth Till someone's gonna shoot me down
Oh, the times I've wasted Oh, the times I've wasted Oh, the times I've wasted Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird I've been feeling like a bird Been a bird ever since my birth Till someone's gonna shoot me down
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird I've been feeling like a bird Been a bird ever since my birth Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down
