[B] Hello!
[Em] This is Ben Kaplan and the Casual Smokers.
You're watching Jam in the Van.
This song is called Birds with Broken Wings.
Bring [Em] me birds with broken [Am] wings, men with all the answers.
[B] People who have killed, [Em] give me incurable cancers.
Bring me beaches, slick and oil.
[Am] Give me disregard for [B] doubt, streetlights shine on broken wings.
[Em] I want that hopeless green depression, [Am] punishments without a cause.
[B] Give me a potential obsession, [Em] disregard for laws.
I want the trees in single [Am] file, bring the corpses in a ray.
[B] Show me children who are siths, show me [Em] mounds on human hair.
[Am] I climbed over a mountain [Em] just to kill my son.
[Am] An angel tried to stop me with [Em] a ram.
[Am] Well he said your mind's infected, [Em] but I said you lack perspective.
[B] You gotta walk the bottle if you wanna see the top.

[Em] Give me poison, I can swim [Am] in the water.
I can't [B] drink weeds that won't stop spinning.
[Em] Teach my children how to think.
I want to prove they taste like [Am] nothing.
Exit the pump for every probe.
[B] Give me lessons without questions, [Em] a mile to stay for most
Give me metaphors [Am] unraveled, poetry defined
Bring [B] me the head of Dionysus, [Em] but please don't spoil the wine
Trade the future for the present, [Am] trade the ashes for my history
[B] I don't need to look inside, I [Em] don't need answers to the mystery
[Am] I climbed up a mountain [Em] just to kill my sin
[Am] An angel tried to stop me [Em] with a rant
[Am] They said your mind's infected, but [Em] I said you lack perspective
[B] You gotta watch the bottom and you won't see the top
[Em] La da da da, [A] la da da da, [B] la da da da da da [Em] da da da da da da da
La da da da, [A] la da da da, [B] la da da da da da da [Em] da da da [C] da da da da
Oh I know they [Em] call me crazy, [C] there will be [Em] no turning back
[Am] I don't care if [Em] they get ugly, [B] once the word of God is spoken
There's no way to take it back
