"Blackbirds" lyrics

"Blackbirds"

Blackbirds fell from the sky
Everybody screamin', and I don't know why
Sayin' it's the end of the world as we know it
Well, Chicken Little runnin' around tryin' to show it

Powerlines, bringin' 'em down
Fires are burnin' through so many towns
All across this land, the times are a-changin'
So why can't we figure out this rearrangin'?

A new year has come
And we waited for the dawn
Now everybody run

Fight or flight, they chose one
Who knew a blackbird was scared of the sun?
Flappin' their wings just to get on through the night
I looked up, and I saw a most peculiar sight

All them birds that fell from the sky
Can you see the fear burnin' in their eyes?
Sayin' it's the end of the world as we know it
If the sky is a-fallin', I don't wanna be below it

A new year has come
And we waited for the dawn
Now everybody run

Blackbirds, all the blackbirds...
