Well, this song started life as one about being a songwriter. Then it seemed to be for everyone. Then it was more like a drinking song. Then I decided there's not much difference.
lyrics
Everyone's a writer.
We sing of all the rights that were wronged.
Yeah, everyone's a writer,
Praying for the pilgrims to be strong.
They were thrown upon the shore.
And we don't see them anymore.
Everyone's a lover.
Looking for the place where they belong.
Yeah, everyone's a lover.
Memories all stapled in a song.
They were thrown upon the shore.
And we don't see them anymore. Yeah..
We're all in this together, funny birds all of feather,
Raise a glass to mom, and lets wait out the weather , cause
We're all in this together, funny birds all of feather, in the
World.
Everyone's a person.
Color or persuasion, if you've got the DNA.
Yeah, everyone's a person.
Though you may disagree with what they do or what they say.
They are thrown upon the shore.
And we won't see them anymore. Yeah...
We're all in this together, funny birds all of feather,
Raise a glass to mom, and let's wait out the weather , cause
We're all in this together, funny birds all of feather, in the
World.
Everyone's a critic,
If you're not a lover or a writer otherwise.
Yeah, everyone's a critic.
But, what the hell, just as well cry and criticize.
You were thrown upon the shore.
And we don't see you anymore. Yeah...
We're all in this together, funny birds all of feather,
Raise a glass to mom, and huddle out the weather , cause
We're all in this together, funny birds all of feather, in the
World.
Birds all of feather, in the World.
Birds all of feather, in the World.
