♫ Take off, little winged creature
♫ It's nothing but teens in ravines
♫ And antics on concrete down here
♫ And are you really as free
♫ As all the great songs
would have me believe
♫ Let me tell you why some day,
Birdie, you're gonna envy me
♫ Some dream of a world
written in lines of code
♫ I hope they engineer out
politics, romance, and edifice
♫ Two outta three ain't bad
♫ Some envision a state
governed by laws of business
♫ Merger and acquisition
instead of violence or nations
♫ Where do I sign up
♫ Take off, little winged creature
♫ It's nothing but falling debris
♫ Strollers, and babies down here
♫ And you may be up in the sky
♫ But our paradigms are just
as deep and just as wide
♫ What with all our best
attempts at transcendence
♫ Something's bound to take
♫ Soon, we'll live in a global culture
♫ Devoid of gender or race
♫ There's just one tiny line
♫ You're either born behind
♫ Or you're free to peek inside
♫ Life as just narrative,
metadata in aggregate
♫ Where the enigma of
humanity's wrapped up finally
♫ That as they say is that
♫ Oh, that day can't come soon enough
♫ It'll be so glorious
♫ When they finally find
out what's bugging us
