The twenty-third track off the 3rd Andy the Doorbum full length "Art is Shit"
lyrics
Owl bird, Owl bird.
Why are you staring in the window?
Why are you staring in the mirror?
Why are you looking at my soul?
You don't know but I'll be picking branches.
Why are your eyes a-looking hollow?
Its about time.
We gotta roll, we gotta roll right now.
We won't know, and we don't know it anyhow.
We'll be sucked, we got sucked underneath the plow.
Reap, sow.
Scarecrow, scarecrow.
Why is your straw on my women?
Oh what? You know, well, you can have them.
And let's just call that sharing.
In the morning you'll be picking branches.
Oh what? You know, well, you can have it...
All of that gold.
We gotta roll, we gotta roll right now.
We won't know, and we don't know it anyhow.
We'll be sucked, we got sucked underneath the plow.
Reap, sow.
Hey there, Mary, Mary
Mother of Confusion.
Do you expect me to know what I'm doing?
Well, good luck with that.
You mistook me for a greater power.
But don't worry I still promise to cower
When I'm in your presence.
It looks good when the grass is brown.
We don't know, but we're working on strapping it down.
So swing a hatchet when you're coming to town.
Heave, ho.

Was watching a live set recording from Hellfest 2012 on the YouTube. This song was being played and I was all, Ahhh I never heard this track.
And here we are 10 years later, now I have this on repeat.
Thanks guys even though it’s 2022, I feel like I just had a time warp back to 2011. Amazing album All Out War
