The lines "I'm gonna streak some blood on my beak; Dust my feathers with ashes" are taken from a song written by the late, great Jason Molina. It's beautiful, and we encourage you to check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSHNITpnuPY
lyrics
Yeah, we're at it again
Making dollar sign symbols out of our veins and skin
Now I gotta make that money one by one
Or, I can pay this down
Go wedding shoe shopping at the new place downtown
Replace the silver spoon in my mouth and grow old
I'm gonna streak some blood on my beak
Dust my feathers with ashes
Yeah, tell me again
Why I hoisted your speeches over all of my friends
A wide open country in the snow
So, now I have my doubts
We keep feeding their children while they push us out
Now I gotta make that money one by one
I'm gonna streak some blood on my beak
Dust my feathers with ashes
That's how we do it, I wanna get away
