Is a song a cover if the only words that exist in the original track are a hook? On this cover/remix/reimagining of the Camu Tao beat, Dug and I try to find out.

lyrics

GLOAT:
Hey, just another day, living in a post-industrial hellscape
Laissez-faire capital getting its day, places I love will be going away like
(WOW) that was fast like, (OW) scream in pain like
(WHY) bird's eye view, lord of the fly, but I got the rock so I
Crack your skull, little piggy go play, Shell is cute, Imma smash your brains
Violence wins, yeah it takes the day, All these birds on the runway say
Might makes right, jet takes flight, F-16's drop bombs at night
Spreading the disease, the blight, Further sentiment is trite

Hook:
Excuse me, I don't mean to disturb you
But I am the bird flu I am to deter you

Dug:
It's magnetic-netic this whole half-dead aesthetic
For the birds, yeah you get it from that uninspected lettuce, check it
Collapse happens gradually all throughout your life
In fact the ones who came before you thought the ending had arrived
It did and kept on going as we're growing in a kiln
and the camera crew makes sure to know which parts of it to film
Continents are burning and our confidence is worried
God our conscience is all blurry but we're kinda in a hurry and it's
My fault. I should have voted with my dollar
what I wanted wasn't on the menu, so I didn't bother I was
Voting for the rent, I was voting for the groceries
It's so how it's supposed to be, don't talk about it openly
Some how it spreads better when everybody is isolated
I, alone, annihilated, I'm the problem, I can take it
Everything is great, you know I could be too if I could fake it
Excuse me

Hook
