Greedy Beak Lyrics

Between the foliage green

The perfunctory passerines

Are performing all of their routines

Singin' all them ' tweedley-oh's'

Searching for seeds and for worms

But oh when the earth yearns set in

A brave disruptor will come around schemin'

Singin "oh to be more is to own"

Taking and building

A fantastical nest

To fulfill, protect, and impress

But towering over

Will be a spectacle at best

The misunderstanding of the hollowing of a soul

Oh as you'd expect the passerines were quite upset

With ruffled feathers they tried voicing their concerns but that greedy beak said,

"Oh passerines you belong to me

You're so sweet and fleeting

I can sing about you all evening

As long as I can get what I am needing

My wings will keep you dry from the rain

Just ignore the shadows on your head"

Now the trees are silent and bare

They were picked over nicely

And picked over twicely

And gobbled all up

By a selfish one

and the troubled hubs of shrubs

once loved are snubbed

rubbles of dust

Bleak and weakened

They left without a home

The shriveled sweetie birds have flown

And branches are bending

Under the weight of the crooked beak

Whose hollow space fills all the trees

Bulging and belching

Are you sore are stuffed?

Have you had enough or

Will you go until you explode?

I'm feeling further from hope

Like the feathers of a bird with a greedy beak
