For the Birds

The wars are all done and the generals have gone home The city offices are closed, there's no-one to man the phones And there are no more elephants in the room We no longer use money, our currency is trust The world's refrained from worry and meditates on love And there are no more elephants in the room We've binned the past, we're free at last From all the confusion We've won the day, it's what we made A quiet revolution Wars, greed and all that's absurd Is strictly for the birds We're watching stars and rainbows Cause television's dead And nothing is a problem, we've found our innocence And there are no more elephants in the room The shopping malls are empty, people are playing in the fields And everything's forgiven, the pain of centuries is healed And there are no more elephants in the room We've pinned the past, we're free at last From all the confusion We've won the day, it's what we made A quiet revolution War, greed and all that's absurd Is strictly for the birds It's strictly for the birds
