Unkindness of Ravens

from Hangin' in the I​.​P. by Cosmic Bull

/

about

Originally released June 24, 2021, it is the first of the Cosmic Bull "message songs," influenced by Greta Thunberg's historic speech on climate change at the U.N.

lyrics

Can't wait to dangle my feet
In the water so sweet
Revitalized
And I'll be driving my car
Doesn't matter how far
To realize it
To where we broke ground
In a place no one had found
And now that everyone knows
To our people it shows
Where the prize is

Hearing rumbles on the way
Telling what we're doing today

And now we're shedding the bees
And we're smoking the trees
For satisfaction
'Cause no one we know believes
We're behaving like thieves
By our action
But it's so cold
To hear that we've been sold
But we'll explain it away
Like we do every day
And get no traction

And when the bird of truth
Is no dove but an unkindness of ravens
That's when we'll see the proof
That our way of life was no worth savin'

And now we've shed all the bees
And we've smoked all the trees
Until we're sated
And no one we know believes
We're behaving like thieves
Except the hated
And it's so cold
To hear that we've been sold
But we'll explain it away
Like we do every day
It's how we're fated
