The Birdwatchers - Oddfella Lyrics

Met with muzzles in the hotel hall
And "now get on your knees and crawl
Now get on your knees and crawl"
Made it clear, "you make mistakes, you die"
But the ending's on the side
The engraving's on the side
Justifying it with "Simon said
To do exactly as you're told
Do exactly as you're told"
It's just the perks that come along with operating above the law
Hard evidence don't mean that much when it's the justice system we can't trust
Planting the seeds and the powder, it breeds a distrust of the system
They'll face no consequences
Already seen this in cycles of media
Expressing outrage when the outcome was assured
Oddfella had a badge and a gun
Oddfella wanted to kill someone
"Oddfella doesn't define us but
Defend the line, defend the line, defend the line, it's them against us"
