Tweetie
[Chorus]
Why can't I fly?
Birds sing so free
So hard I try
Just fly, Tweetie

[Verse 1]
They've taken away
They've taken away
Everything the little boy has known
His cars and his trains
His joys and his pains
And the right he had to be full grown
No one would employ
That blonde long-haired boy
Now, at least, those troubles all are gone
They've taken away
Yes, they've taken away
Everything the little boy has known

[Bridge]
Birds fly southward
No need to reason why, Lord
But why do the bad ones live
And why do the good ones die
Oh, why'd they have to die?
Pеople I ain't complaining
No no no, n-no, n-no, n-no
I want to make that understood
I ain't complaining
Only wish I could, and I would
Yеs, I would, if I could
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Why can't I fly?
Birds sing so free
So hard I try
Just fly, Tweetie

[Verse 3]
They've taken away
They've taken away
Everything the little boy has known
He used to get sad
And treated so bad
As if it was a crime to be a little different
He traded his fun
And his life for a gun
Oh, Tweetie, I just hope you did believe
They've taken away
Yes, they've taken away
Everything the little boy has known

[Bridge]
Birds fly southward
No need to reason why, Lord
But why do the bad ones live
And why do the good ones die
Oh, why'd they have to die?
People I ain't complaining
No no no, n-no
I want to make that understood
I ain't complaining
Only wish I could, and I would
And I would, if I could
