Lyrics:

And so it all begins.
In the blink of an eye it's ending.
Things killing things they're meant to be defending.
Open season. On the range.
Jesus mercy things are getting strange.
Words. And wires. And burning spires.
Man says they chopped down a tree to make a bird box out of wood.
Too damn clever for your own damn good.

See the tiny bird.
So - can you imagine what he's thinking?
Staring at you staring at him eyes unblinking.
Tiny moments. Massive sparks.
All this light but still we're in the dark.
Words. And likes. And rusted bikes.
You try to run away from what they'd use to find you if you could.
Too damn clever for your own damn good.

(Woah. Woah Woah. Woah Woah). He's not even in denial.
(Woah. Woah Woah. Woah Woah). He says it with a smile.
(Woah. Woah Woah. Woah Woah). I think he'll be a while.
(Woah. Woah Woah. Woah Woah). Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...

Is anybody there? Is anybody still tuned in?
I wouldn't really blame you if you'd given up listening.
Bad reception. Some excuse.
Exhibit C - file under "other news"
Words. Wires. A world on fire.
You're speaking in tongues while complaining that you've been misunderstood.
Too damn clever for your own damn good.

(Woah. Woah Woah. Woah Woah). He's not even in denial.
(Woah. Woah Woah. Woah Woah). He says it with a smile.
(Woah. Woah Woah. Woah Woah). I think he'll be a while.
(Woah. Woah Woah. Woah Woah). Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah... x 3
