about

A protest song, all inspired by a blackbird that kept on surviving.

lyrics

Ma Rainey's in the garden

I think she's just surviving

And there's no woodpecker today

Below the trees are breaking

The pavements we've been making

And there's no woodpecker today

Oh man I feel like an iceberg

Breaking cold and I'm shaking down

Oh somebody stop this taking, making money madness

I ca take anymore, no, no, no!

They say the world's a changin'

But we're still misbehavin'

And still no woodpecker today

We keep on going faster

Spinning to disaster

And still no woodpecker today

Oh man I feel like an iceberg

Shaking cold and I'm breaking down

Oh somebody stop this taking, making money madness

I can't take anymore, no, no, no!

The cracks are getting wider

We need to hold on tighter

And still no woodpecker today

You'd think a certain outbreak

Would slow us down for fuzz sake!

But still no woodpecker today

Oh man I feel like an iceberg

Breaking cold and I'm shaking now

Oh somebody stop this taking, making money madness

I can't take anymore, no, no, no!

The same with the policing

Violence is increasing

And still no woodpecker today

They're stopping our protesting

So what will be the next thing

And still no woodpecker today

Oh man I feel like an iceberg

Breaking cold and I'm shaking down

Oh somebody stop this taking, making money madness

I can't take anymore, no, no, no!

I guess we've gone too far now

The world's a broken heart now

But at least I saw a woodpecker today, yeah!
