lyrics

Angry Birds

Go on and tell us all about the prophet
Now operating at a loss
Who had to buy his words back at retail price
After he'd sold them to the world at cost

You better get it down on paper
'For the words cease to obey
Before they organize a union
And start demanding better pay

And everybody wonders why you're never at a loss for words
You stick em in a sling and shoot them off
Like angry birds
Angry birds

On radio and in the shopping malls
You make the opposition look so small
Other angry birds turn up and cluck and swell
The backers knows their place
They say to you Here's your script, now go and paint your face
You got conviction, and you say your lines so well
No one can tell

Yeah, you could talk the rings off of Saturn
You could talk them off of Uranus
Now we're firing on all syllables
But let's not let that detain us

Cos these are children's games
And you're just a minor clown
To the soldiers in the trucks at the checkpoints at the edge of town

And everybody wonders why you're never at a loss for words
You stick em in the sling and shoot them off
Like angry birds
Angry birds
Angry birds
Angry birds
Angry birds

The Spreewells image

The Spreewells Los Angeles, California

The Spreewells make angular energetic music about the modern world. Their name evokes the savage beauty of a certain 1990s NBA star and the noble river that flows through a delicious foreign city. We are: Richard Wittman (voice, rhythm guitar), Jeff Gross (lead guitar; sometimes bass), & Mike Ball (bass; sometimes lead guitar). Drums were played by Milo Todesco and, on Marginalia, by Joel Joseph. ... more
