about

This quick little musical joke was one of the earliest facets of the live stage show (it was in fact played at the first show in 1996.) After being retired for 8 years, it was revived (2008) and makes regular appearances in the setlist, augmented by Chris Lenox's fingerstyle guitar work.

In the 2012 video for 'Zombie Apocalypse BBQ', an instrumental version of this song accompanied the end credits.

lyrics

Free Bird! There's a bird in here for everyone
Free Bird! Giving birds away is so much fun
Free Bird! Birds are going fast, you'd better run
Free Bird! Get a bird for free with every gun

These guys ROCK... and they have an awesome spaceship! This may be because we have not yet stolen the aforementioned spaceship, but of course that still doesn't change the fact that they ROCK. Consortium of Genius
