lyrics

Magpie

Magpie
gonna pick up
all the pieces
little black bird
scavenge
put the pieces together

it’s all too confusin’ now
magpie don’t know what to do
ain’t no center
holding ground
magpie, he sees through

building nests
from garbage
bits of clay and straw
cram the pieces in now
hello, jackdaw !


Magpie
he be happy now
everything going
according to plan
millions of magpies screaming
taking litter out of your hand

it’s a magpie world
it’s a madcap world
take what you can get now
it’s lying on the ground.

Magpie
he don’t care
about the where and when
he just know to take the people close
and be good enough to be their friend

now there ain’t no looking back
there ain’t no thinking about
magpie, he delivers the goods
so don’t you throw anything out…..

it's a magpie world
