So long ago, everyone should know
Since Adam and the apple nothin's ever changed
No matter how many things you care to fake, ooh ah ooh
Ah ah, see the red bird fly
Ah ah ah ah, see the eagle cry

So don't waste your time, eat the bacon not the rind
That's what my momma told me when I was young
If you hope to grow up to be big and strong, ooh ah ooh
Ah ah, like the red bird do
Ah ah ah ah, like the eagle try
Like the eagle try, now get this...

So take it easy little bird, don't believe all you've heard
Don't fly up too high, there's no bird seed in the sky
And when you finally come on down
There'll be no seed left on the ground

Yeah that's what my momma told me when I was young, ooh ah ooh
Ah ah, see the red bird fly
Ah ah ah ah, see the eagle cry
Mmm see the eagle cry

You see the puppets come, and the puppets go
While the hidden truth, remains untold
But everything will be revealed
Every stone will be upturned
Every seal will be unsealed
Mmm and every lie will be unlearned
There's not long to go
Everyone will know
