Lyrics
Hey Bird, you know singing won’t take you no where Daddy’s been paying for school and you don’t have a care When you get out on your own, you know things are gonna change You’ll have your degree in music, but you’ll be singing for change Hey wisher, you know dreaming’s gonna get you no where I’ve been there first hand and I know, that life isn’t fair You work so hard for the dream, but you don’t stand a chance You haven’t been raised to be first, no one gives you a glance Hey girl, sometimes talent just ain’t enough You have to be pretty and close your eyes to be touched You’ll wake up one morning and cry out, “God, what have I done? I’ve done anything just to make it, and I still haven’t won.” Hey Bird, you know singing won’t take you no where Hey Bird, you know singing….won’t take you no---- where------
