Birds Against the Glass - Rose Hill Drive

As a girl she had a dream that she was gonna leave her house

And find a man who shared her love and shared her thoughts

Together they would roam across the forty-eight and spend the money they had

saved

With fellow gypsy people they would learn to live again and dance the night away

Ridin' the new wave

So she packed her car up tight and headed for the southern states

And found a man she kinda liked but he never treated her right

With money running low they built a house that they could never clean

He promised her that he would change

He promised her that they would build a scene

Just like she dreamed

But the man was a boy

And the bank loan was a ploy

In a world like this we burn and crash

Just like birds against the glass

Once there was a summer filled with love and everybody’s consciousness was

being guided from above

And it was clear that there was power in the people and if people carried

flowers

The intention would stay good and plain

And so he made a promise that he’d never change the hippie he became

But the clouds kept rollin' in, the baby boomers giving in

To mass appeal and government but he said they would never win

The country was a mess before but free love seemed to change the war

And he saw no difference if we could just elect the right president

Maybe people would get it

But now he keeps a tank full of gas

Oh, just to save his own ass

In a world like this we burn and crash

Just like birds against the glass

Oh, will we stay where we last?

Oh, this too shall pass

In a world like this we burn and crash just like birds against
