    'The Legion of Sparrows are so shitty, they're amazing! Pop genius in the crappiest form ever!'
    - J.D. Salinger


    'LoS [Legion of Sparrows] are the kinda hip-hop group I love working with. They have no idea what they're doing, which means I can mold their sound however I want. What more do you want from a group?'
    - Timbaland


    'I identify so much with Legion of Sparrows, on a level I don't understand. It's just... I feel like I'm the Legion of Sparrows of this generation, you know? But nobody understands me when I say that...'
    - Justin Bieber

Brutal Love 04:15
Brutal love and brutal lies Brutal hearts and brutal minds Harsh words and harsh lives With brutal love and brutal lies [This is all I know] Brutal love and brutal lies Brutal hearts and brutal minds Harsh words and harsh lives With brutal love and brutal lies Deep purple blue red scarlet letters Hold on to your love and your debtors Hold out for your betters With deep purple blue red scarlet letters Chorus Brutal love and brutal lies Brutal hearts and brutal minds Harsh words and harsh lives With brutal love and brutal lies Everything you said has been done before Everything you done has done nothing It is what it is and it never isn't Everything you said has been done before Chorus

I do not know where I'm going to I do not know if I'll be with you Heaven and hell live in harmony Without each other they'd cease to be [I'm not leaving you, I won't abandon you I can't release you, because I can't be with you] My heart stays with you wherever I am My sympathy is endless in the state of I AM I give you all my longing no matter what I see Without each other, we'd cease to be Chorus
3.
We smoked until our lungs gave out But our hearts were not content And we broke all the things we didn't wanna break Cause what we did were all Godsent So we talked and talked and talked and talked Until the point was lost Our tears came out stale And our beer came out in drops (You've gone so far, where did you go? Down on the road as a soul I haven't heard you since that one day you left Long and apart I've lost my head) Well we talked it out over the phone But only the tele heard what was said Our ears were much to occupied Containing thoughts within our heads So narcissism is a cold, hard bitch But fuck the ego, we know how it is Our sympathy is lost for For those who've lost it all Chorus

Mustard Seed 06:56
She's a girl from a mustard seed Vague I know but true And know if you were here She'd be into you Where was her home? A place she'd never know Where was her throne? A place she'd never go [Why, oh why, she said to me In her fathers arms she'll be Why, oh why, she said to me The kiss of the grave was her's to be] Born all alone, Surrounded as a babe Her father's only hope Of a fatherly escape Mother, hold you're own Mother, dry her tears Mother, hold her close Or she'll drown you in your beer Suicide was her only option Suicide was her bane Mother, do you care to feel me Mother, you drive her insane Chorus Suicide was her only option Suicide was her band Mother, do you care to feel me Mother, you driver her insane

I'm too tired to have this much on my mind, Or too wired to have nothing to think about So I'll sit on billboards and wait For the day when my faith shall be sight Or I'll drink water with Jesus and talk with Him And pray he'll turn the liquid to wine Or count the ways I've lost my sanity I guess anything to pass the time I'm too tired to even write Much less put up much of a fight I can't even determine letters for my pen strokes So I'll sleep and let my dreams decide Where we sit on thrones in a land with no kings All our eyes taken by equality All blind and all crawling and all even and all seeing Where sight will often mislead Where we all sing inside where we're not to be So the cops will handcuff us with guilty melody Where we'll sing, 'one day when our faith will be sight And madness is how you become free' But I'll wake to tired too think Too tired to write of the sorrow it brings That we're one day further, but not one step closer To the day where no man is king We still see but don't do anything We see, but don't know anything But like my dream, we continue to sing

How could a five ounce sparrow carry a one pound coconut? Maybe if there were a legion of them...
