Miniature Birds

Westward course of empire's
Got its wheels turning faster
And on to disaster
So long, long
Such a long way to go

Riding up on a high horse
Looking at all the soldiers
And the holy rollers
So long, long
Such a long way to go

It didn't take that long
It didn't take that lo-ong

I could be reasonable
I could fight
I could have at least been a little bit wiser
So long, long
Such a long way to go

You know when those miniature birds
Sing an ignorant song
The choir's putting us on trial
So long, long
Such a long way to go

It didn't take that long
It didn't take that lo-ong

Riding up on high
Riding up on high

It didn't take that long
It didn't take that lo-ong
