lyrics

Wake up, don’t know anymore things I had memorized for sure. another day. coffee insta-made, hoping to get paid, maybe I’ll get laid.

Oh oh oh oh ohoh oh flightless birds x3

we strut around we can’t fly, we peck cuz’ we can’t bite
we squawk cuz’ we don’t sigh, we laugh cuz’ we all die
oh oh, oh oh ,oh oh, flightless birds

verse
well evolution fucked us over, our bodies look weird and we’re not terribly bright, take a minute listen to our plight. Natural selection: birds with attraction or strength, or speed
g-g-g-g-gonna out-survive our breed

well oh oh oh oh ohoh oh


listen to me love, it's birds, bees and honey cuz’
me like sugar and me want money. We think we're such intelligent species
I’m just thinking about my pecker and some chickadees

well oh oh oh oh ohoh oh Flightless
Birds

we strut around we can’t fly, we peck cuz’ we can’t bite
we squawk cuz’ we don’t sigh, we laugh cuz’ we all die
oh oh, oh oh ,oh oh, flightless birds


Songbirds:

they shit on everything, fluff their feathers and look down from the world above.
They’ll go out for a bite to eat, come back, and throw up on their young.
ooo, with manners: quaint, and children: saints, I swear to God, I'll outrun them all.


It’s the end of fall, things aren’t beautiful they’re dead
you’re so cold to me
As thousands of the other birds fly south for the winter
you turn and take to wing
