Lyrics:

Intro:

I've got a secret to tell you...

swell

CH x2 left pan right pan and swap

Birds aren't real
they're made of cameras
Birds aren't real
Secret government drones
Birds aren't real
Inside their black jaws
Birds aren't real
They spy on your homes

V1

I've got a secret that I want you to know
So step over here and get real close
I'll put it in your ear, I don't want you to fear
But I'm gonna have to whisper cuz I see a crow

You may not know, but in the 50's, they killed off all the birds
Replaced with robots from the government, to record all your words
So tread lightly, speak softly, look in my eyes they're glistening
Remember, you never know when a feathered friend

is gonna be listening

PCH

Back in the 50's, they don't want you to know
They're building robots that look like crows (and other birds too)

I've got a secret to tell you...

CH

Birds aren't real
they're made of cameras
Birds aren't real
Secret government drones
Birds aren't real
Inside their black jaws
Birds aren't real
They spy on your homes

BR

Cute birb over there? Government drone
That bird in your hair? Government drone
That bird on tv? Government drone
That bird next to me? Gonna spy in your home

That bird on the wire? Government drone
That bird that's on fire? Government drone
That bird on your face? Government drone
That bird in outer space? Gonna spy in your home

I've got a secret to tell you...
(Swell)

CH

Birds aren't real
they're made of cameras
Birds aren't real
Secret government drones
Birds aren't real
Inside their black jaws
Birds aren't real
They spy on your homes

CH vocal vamps over the x2 chorus - BIRDS AREN'T REAL

Birds aren't real
they're made of cameras
Birds aren't real
Secret government drones
Birds aren't real
Inside their black jaws
Birds aren't real
They spy on your homes

I've got a secret to tell you...
