[Verse 1]
We are the iron birds
Said would you believe
We've got a trick up our sleeve
We’re the greatest that you've heard
So no one understood, when we vanished for good

And down to the clouds of hell
We've got a different story to tell

[Chorus]
We’re not the bad guys
We tried to tell you so many times
We see it in your eyes
We know you wish you could fly

[Verse 2]
We've been lost at sea
Gonna do what we're told
Chasing treasure and gold
We are finally free
And we're coming of age
Breaking out of the cage

Don't drown when you're fishing for bones
You've got to leave us alone
[Chorus]
We're not the bad guys
We tried to tell you so many times
We see it in your eyes
We know you wish you could fly

[Verse 3]
Break of the crack of dawn
Say goodbye to the man
Don’t want to follow his plan
And the rest follow along
Gotta show ’em the sky if you want 'em to fly

[Chorus]
We’re not the bad guys
We tried to tell you so many times
We see it in your eyes
We know you wish you could fly
