Two birds sitting on a wire

Boy and girl are leaving school

He is shy, but she will follow him, she don’t know why

And then - you sleep

 Pull down the wall

 Pull down the wall, you

Hear the true call, you

Start the day with little things

They’ll blossom into prayers and little wings

Look at what is in your heart (at what's in your heart)

How could it be wrong? the little man is telling you

E                        A
People gathering in the square (gathering in the square)

They’ve had enough, their leaders they are killing them

[Bridge]
A*                          D*
When all the banks began to fail

                                     A*
I thought that we would have a change

                                 D*                              A*
But they found all this cash, we didn’t have to patch it up again

                                D*                     F#m*
They never think to spend the money on the everlasting broke

       B*           D*
Or the sick, what a waste
[Instrumental] E A E B E A E B [Verse 3]
E                         A
Two birds in the promised land

E                        B
One is building walls to keep the other in its place

  E                         A
Imprisoned like the special son

E                       B
He became the greatest, broke his chains and busted out
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m       F#
Life - is short

    C#m        F#
And then - you sleep
[Chorus]
