1.You tell me that you've got everything you want
and your bird can sing
but you don't get me you don't get me.

2. You say you've seen seven wonders
and your bird is green
but you can't see me you can't see me.

R: When your prized possessions
start to tear you down
look in my direction
*: I'll be around I'll be around.
When your bird is broken
will it bring you down
you may be awoken
I'll be around I'll be around.

3. You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
and your bird can sing
but you can't hear me you can't hear me.
