[Chorus]
If I was a bird, I'd eat a lot of fish
Fly around the world sleep with all different chicks
Never need money, always stay high
Everyday is sunny spread my wings in the sky
If I was a bird, chirp chirp chirp
If I was a bird, bird bird bird
If I was a bird, chirp chirp chirp
If I was a bird (caw)
[Verse 1]
I wanna be a bird tell me that I can't
See me in the sky watch the world turn to ants
Watch me go and spread my wings that's how the birds live
Everybody jealous of the things that I did
I wanna be a bird fly like an eagle
I wanna be a bird I'd be friends with Jason Segel
Friends with all the people that I can't speak to
Feed me on the beaches or the peaks of Machu Picchu
I'd be cool chilling in the arctic
Nobody would judge me by my job or apartment
Never try to start sh** - I just fly away
Call up all my boys tell ‘em come on let's get high today, high as planes
High as paper placed inside a spaceship that's been racing chasing alien invasions who wiling in space (Come on)
That's my life man it'd be so nice
Week in Arizona then hit Tokyo at night
If I was a bird
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I wanna be a bird fast like an arrow
Fly around the world they would call me Captain Sparrow
Wise like an owl - never care what time it is
Only thing on my mind is finding fish
Climbing cliffs daily - every week I'm sailing
Don't need a boat I just hit up my friend Whaley
And he takes me on his back straight across the seven seas
It's like that when you rolling with a feather beast - heavenly
Life is so much better see, nobody's ahead of me
Nobody is telling me I should be seeking therapy
Parakeet with clarity, very keen on sharing genes
All the female birds are chirping “Jay why don't you marry me?”
Let's go! There'd be no 5-0
Birds don't have laws we abide by a code
And it's time to let ‘em know this how the birds live
Everybody jealous of the things that I did
Man if I was a bird
[Chorus]
[Bridge] x2
Birds are my friends, birds are my family x3
My family, birds are my family
