Little red bird under a chair
Waiting for the crumbs to fall
Daddy said "get a job"
Well don't you see, daddy, how good I am at catching crumbs?

Guns and gods and little red birds
Guns and gods and little red birds
Don't you see, daddy, how good I am at catching crumbs?

General custer is sad
Overestimated his abilities to win
Sitting bull turned the table on him
A comfort to count the battles won after the war is lost

Guns and gods and little red birds
Guns and gods and little red birds

A comfort to count the battle won after the war is lost
A comfort to count the battles won after the war is lost

If there was a place hidden in the stars
Reflected on heaven's graces
If God had an honest face
A troubled expression would be watching the human race

Little red bird
