Depths of Black and White

Even "black and white" is not all black and white.

Young Private has a heart of gold,

Trying to find out why the world's so cold.

Why both his folks are who-knows-where

Even Uncle Nigel was barely even there.

Helping others was his goal to achieve.

To all the other birds, he seems naïve.

Using rainbows to wipe away tears

In order to hopefully sugarcoat fear.

Accused of being weak, he is told to get strong,

Even though he says fighting's just dead wrong.

People accuse him to possess stupidity

Forcing him as interior snippety.

Private's now frozen on a path on his own

Trying to separate Hell and home

No other choice but to go and not pack.

Finding out that life is a one way track.

Poor Rico was a psycho, he was told.

Trying to find out why the world's so cold.

Desire of destruction to risk his life

No female would want to be his wife.

To stay alive, everyone kept their distance

Waddled from his location, for instance.

Barely spoke clear, gibberish is his tone,

He was most likely bad to the bone.

Rico was crazy, but yet he doesn't care

Leaving loads of dark smoke blowing in the air.

Unsure if his stomach's filled with intoxication

More and more he just lacks appreciation

Rico's now frozen on a path on his own

Trying to separate Hell and home

No other choice but to go and not pack

Finding out that life is a one way track.

Now Kowalski has chemicals to hold

Trying to research why the world's so cold.

Has the highest intellect in the land

All his work is what no one understands.

Others think he's strange as an egghead bird.

What is it that made him become such a nerd?

How he's too smart and yet has good looks

Unable to read, he has smarts of books

Smarts over force, he believes in the bone

Therefore, in his family, he just stands alone.

They don't think that his brains can help him survive,

Yet, further out, he's clearly alive.

Kowalski's now frozen on a path on his own

Trying to separate Hell and home.

No other choice but to go and not pack

Finding out that life is a one way track.

Skipper's here with attitude so bold

Trying to find out why the world's so cold.

Can't remember his mom's caring squeeze

Life later's everything but a breeze.

Pound two dudes with whom he can chill.

Manfredi and Johnson were a good "ill".

But the two were accident prone

And they both became dead and gone.

Then, Denmark's where he decides to stay

And then he met Hans, who he thought was okay.

But trust cracked, he wants Hans to die.

And to the Danes, he's forced to say good bye.

Skipper's now frozen on a path on his own

Trying to separate Hell and home.

No other choice but to go and not pack

Finding out that life is a one way track.
