lyrics

A friend of birds ain’t afraid of nothing. A-
Murder of foes should can be good for something
Before the game, you should take a bite
Remind your friends where their hearts reside

They said it was for the greater good
It all went south like you knew it would
They said to take one for the team
They didn’t say you’d be replaced by a machine

Now take the field
And face the cheers
Now the pressure’s on
And all your friends are gone

They made a pact
To make you snacks
But since you hung around
Think you should take the mound (NO)

You shoulda known when they lost your name
You shoulda guessed it would be the same
When someone says we should trick a god
Did you expect THEM to do the job?

They buried you in shell and shame
And left you there for months and days
What should you see when you could breath again?
Your greatest foe flocking overhead

Now take the field
And face the cheers
Now the pressure’s on
And all your friends are gone

They made a pact
To make you snacks
But since you hung around
Think you should take the mound (NO)

A greater good ain’t to good for nothing
A greater good ain’t to good for nothing
A sacrifice is s’posed to leave someone with something

They put you in a shell cuz they thought it was funny
They made you their idol cuz it made them money
They told you they were gonna kill the gods
…But who are they?

Now take the field
And face the cheers
Now the pressure’s on
And all your friends are gone

They made a pact
To make you snacks
But since you hung around
Think you should take the mound (NO)

(Repeat chorus with augmented first verse in background)

Now take the field / A friend of birds ain’t afraid of nothing. A-
And face the cheers / Murder of foes should can be good for something
Now the pressure’s on / Before the game, you should take a bite
And all your friends are gone / Remind the gods where their debt resides

They made a pact / A friend of birds ain’t afraid of nothing. A-
To make you snacks / Murder of foes should can be good for something
But since you hung around / Before the game, you should take a bite
Think you should take the mound (NO) / Remind the gods where their debt resides
