The Birdwatchers - Water People Lyrics

We don't understand it
Vengeance of the planet
The liquid makes 'em dumb somehow
The Devil's not to blame
So don't invoke his name
God's a weakened silhouette down south

It's Taliban America
Oh you know that I'm ashamed in ya
No, until the threats follow you home
Politic of pests swallows you whole

Couldn't get enough

Illustrious example made to show
Pedestrians are shackled to the road
Potentially the same, the fall of Rome
The lead weighs down their brains and blood and bones

Water people
Usher in the decay
Water people
Plug the past in and play
Water people
No one asked you to stay
Water people
Now you have it your way

Take an iron to those
Old wrinkles and folds
Let the cerebellum steer the ride
We won't hear their answer
No, it's never enough
No panning out
No flakes of facts to find

Oh

It's Taliban America
Oh you know that I'm ashamed in ya
Politic of pests swallows you whole
Trod on sick and poor to wrest control

Couldn't get enough

You can't extract the message from the drone
Unless it's spelled with neon overtones
The streetlights outline the disaster zone
Illustrious example takes you home

Water people
Usher in the decay
Water people
Plug the past in and play
Water people
No one asked you to stay
Water people
Now you have it your way
