lyrics

Bird came to my window
And said "what the hell!?!
Remember the cattails and trees and all the tall grass and reeds?
It's all gone! Replaced by odd-looking nests
Full of humans, concrete and mess..."

My reply was an apology
"I'm not in charge of their death machines"
Bird said, "by the red of my wing -
they'll learn not to fuck with me!"

Go away! Or I'll dive-bomb at your eyes
Go away! Or I'll crap on your tie
Go away! I'll rain death down from the skies
Go away, yeah yeah, this is where I draw the line!

The neighbourhood watch (go away!)
Spies Bird's flock from the corner of their eyes
As wings whip, bodies bump
Beaks rip and claws go straight for their rumps

Go away! Or I'll dive-bomb at your eyes
Go away! Or I'll crap on your tie
Go away! I'll rain death down from the skies
Go away, yeah yeah, this is where I draw the line!
