Lyrics

A smog hangs over the Hutt
Backing bumper to bumper, red lights coming into the harbour
As the number 4 winds round the bend
I sit and wonder how's it's all gonna end
How much more will we have to spend?

But see the birds, they don't care
Tree to tree, they just sing what they see
The birds, they're just here
And they're calling to me, crying, hey!
Just be

Cars non-stop coming down the street,
Late again, running up, got deadlines to meet
There's anger at the wheel
Fuelled up sword and shield

Well, my own world's fine about half of the time
I'm battered by the wind and fighting for sunlight
But weeds criss-cross and they're starting to creep
Now I'm starting to freak out

But see the birds, they don't care
Tree to tree, they just sing what they see
The birds, they're just here
And they're calling to me, crying, hey!
Just be
Just be
Be, be

Just over the road, the old gardener goes
Day after day, consistently shows
That with enough time, maybe reason and rhyme
A garden of patience, rosemary and thyme
Will grow, it will grow
So just be
Just be
Be, be

Oh, see the birds, they don't care
Tree to tree, they sing what they see
Oh, the birds, they're just here
And they're calling to me, crying, hey! hey!

Oh, see the birds, they don't care
Tree to tree, they just sing what they see
Oh, the birds, they're just here
And they're calling to me, crying, hey!
Just be
Just be
Be
