SHOREBIRDS LYRICS

"The Ballad Of Marvin Heemeyer"

A small town. A mountain town.
60 miles west of Denver.
The city of Granby had no idea
they fucked with the wrong guy.
You see, Marvin was disgruntled.
Enough for 18 months of armor plating.
In a 4 mph rampage he made history.
"Come on vacation, leave on probation."
Alienation.
Sometimes you just want to knock it all down.
Play your whole town into the ground.
Marvin did what we are too weak to do.
All the frustration we seethe with.
He really took it all out.
City hall, the mayor's house,
it all came down to the hardware store
where he fell onto the floor
had to take his own life.
You know they're just gonna knock it all down.
Everything you love into the ground.

Thanks to Tom for these lyrics
