about

From a batch of tunes written in '04 or '05

lyrics

Lookin' out over this little town I see
People just trying' to get themselves free, everyone's looking'
for a better way to fly

Got a friend with a little shop but he had to close down
said the problem is perception of this town
yeah he's lookin'
for a better way to fly

Ain't just perception, at least not from where I sit
they're given' tax cuts to the rich,
they don't give a damn about you and me
no they don't, baby

Well the mills been gone goin' on 30 years
this town's trying' to find an image before her heart disappears
yeah she's looking' for a better way to fly

When they all shut down it brought this town to her knees
hard to get back up running' with everything outsourced overseas
but she's trying' to find a better way to fly

All over this country it's the same old song
they say the numbers are up, the economy is strong yeah
I don't believe it, baby

I'm just trying to find a new way to fly
I'm just looking' for a new way to fly
I'm gonna make it–gonna get there by and by
I'm just trying' to find a new way to fly

Driving back from Portland not far from the Bush estate
I saw a flat black F-150 with a dreamcatcher and Maine paltes
that cat was looking' for a better way to fly
I'd a liked to take Bush and Cheney, show them a simple life can be good
have them carry a little of my water, maybe chop a little of my wood, just try and show them
there's another way to fly

We got prisons made of concrete, prisons made of thought
one holds your body, the other keeps your soul in captivity
you're still a prisoner

Chorus and out
