I learned long ago
'bout a better way of killing birds
And what it means when they die in my hands
Like a strangled heart
It never made much sense to me
Why I'd need to know the best way to do that
But you have to love the murderer I've become
As I'm standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds
I've spent my youth
Breaking down the walls my father built
Just like he did to his father before him
But then I had no home
So I tried to make a better one
It looked just like his, so I burned it down again
No there ain't a long parade of idiots
As I'm standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds
You don't have to love the murderer I've become
If I could spin a web
I would sit and wait for you
I wouldn't need a stone, I'd just poison you and tie you up
And you would be a bird
A beautiful cresent one
And your eyes would beg
But i'm just doing my job
Standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds

Chris Cornell, all'anagrafe Christopher John Boyle (Seattle, 20 luglio 1964 – Detroit, 18 maggio 2017), è stato un cantante e musicista statunitense. Noto per il suo potente timbro vocale e la sua sensibilità poetica, ha raggiunto fama internazionale come frontman dei Soundgarden, gruppo grunge di Seattle che ha segnato l'onda sonora degli anni '90. Oltre a questo successo, Cornell ha collaborato con altri artisti importanti come Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) nel progetto Temple of the Dog e ha formato Audioslave, supergruppo rock composto da membri dei Rage Against the Machine. Ha anche intrapreso una carriera solista di grande successo, pubblicando album apprezzati dalla critica e dal pubblico. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Chris Cornell figurano "Black Hole Sun", "Spoonman", "Fell on Black Days" (Soundgarden), "Hunger Strike" (Temple of the Dog) e "Like a Stone" (Audioslave).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
