Birds are Gonna Fly

It’s a party when we all get outta here!

my kids won’t leave my house
i’ve been tolerant
i’ve been kind
but i have to face the fact
i’m too nice

but the bar is low
everyone else is
shit-tastic
and insane

should i pay the price
for not being abusive
a narcissist
a sociopath

i hear all you saying
i’m so sad
i’m crying my eyes out
my kid is leaving home
for the first time

oh honey
let me tell you what
go out
party
scream and shout
laugh diabolically
up into the skies

dance a jig
shake your ass
til you can’t no more
live like there’s no tomorrow

sure you’ll miss ‘em
cry a little tear
let it dry
as your running into your
fantastic freedom
new horizons
