Like all the tracks on Sound of Impact, this live version of “Pigeon Kill” was intentionally mislabeled by the band. It the first of two performances of the song documented on the record.
This is our land
We got a right
Got a lot of birds
Kill 'em if we want
This is our land
We got a right
And those are my kids
Kill 'em if we want
[Spoken outro]
I still say you don't know what it's all about, ma, I still say you don't know what it's all about
You think this bird thing is all there is to it, ma? No, it's bigger than that ma, it's bigger than that. They want you to keep doing more and more stuff, ma, it's bigger than this whole fuckin' bird thing, ma
You think this bird thing is all there is to it? No, it's bigger than that, ma. Goes all the way to Washington, ma. Goes all the way to Washington, and the CIA, and the FBI- I read a book, ma, I read a book- Tony Alamo says the Pope's involved
Tony Alamo says the Pope did it, it's all paid, it's a conspiracy, ma, it's bigger than this whole fuckin' bird thing
Bird Thang was written by Steve Albini.
from the Bulldozer liner notes:
In Huntington, Indiana, there is an annual event, the pigeon kill, during which the townspeople feed strychnine-laced corn to the town’s pigeons. Sometimes the children are given the responsibility of feeding the pigeons. They think of it as play.
