G# G G#
I talk to X, he tell me that he's always watching
G G#
He put a hex up on my soul to keep me locked in
G G#
I keep on looking at the world like I'm an optimist
G G#
He says we can't go back, there ain't no way of stopping this
G G#
I say the truth will always make it through the winter
G G# G
He tells me history is written by the victor, it's poison
G# G
(Yeah, it's poison)
G# G# G#
I wanna live for something, I wanna die for something
G G#
He makes me cry for nothing, says that I'm a dime a dozen
G G#
I wanna write the song to help you start the revolution
G G# G
He wanna see you next to me in public execution, poison
G# G
(Yeah, it's poison)
[Chorus]
Fm Cm Eb
And I watch these birds fly
G G# G G# G
And I cry, "Why can't I? Why can't I?"
Fm Cm Eb
And I watch these birds fly
G G# G G# G
And I cry, "Why can't I? Why can't I?"
[Verse 2]
G# G G#
I wanna be the change, I try to make my feelings vocal
G G#
He's in my head, he makes me sick, he makes me antisocial
G G#
I try to do my part, I vote, I sign all the petitions
G G#
He tells me that there ain't no way that I'ma make a difference
G G#
Losing my mind, I wanna find a way to keep composure
G G#
He gets me high, he tell me lies, I think he's taking over
G G#
I try to close my eyes, I'm haunted in my nightmares
G# G# G# G#
I'm quite scared, I look to the left and I find him right there
G# G
It's poison
G# G
(Yeah, it's poison)
[Chorus]
Fm Cm Eb
And I watch these birds fly
G G# G G# G
And I cry, "Why can't I? Why can't I?"
Fm Cm Eb
And I watch these birds fly
G G# G
And I cry, "Why can't I? Why can't I?"
