[Verse] a little bird—told me the word that the birds are government-sent drone surveillance, artificially intelligent technological marvels they're spy machines with beady little eyes beady little eyes with cameras inside [Pre-Chorus] as the crow flies—Uncle Sam spies It's never safe— So watch. what. you. say. [Chorus] when you feel all alone remember the birds aren't real the birds aren't real they're drones—with beady little eyes programmed to spy on you and I [Instrumental beat] [Verse 2] They watch from the branches—of the oaks and perch on the lamp-post—while I smoke I used to think it's a joke but lately the crows— they've been following me and you know—when it's crows they call it a murder and I just might be next [Instrumental] [Chorus] when you feel all alone remember the birds aren't real the birds aren't real they're drones—with beady little eyes programmed to spy on you and I [Bridge] Sometimes the birds sing out they sound the alarm in the night— as if it's broad daylight that sweet canary— not as harmless as she seems that canary—oh, she sings about revolutions— and other—dangerous things [Refrain] that sweet canary— not as harmless as she seems that canary—oh, she sings about revolutions— and other—dangerous things [Outro] you're never alone— you're never alone with fake bird drones in every tree
