[Verse 1] What will grow crooked, you can't make straight It's the price that you gotta pay Do yourself a favour and pack your bags Buy a ticket and get on the train Buy a ticket and get on the train
[Chorus] 'Cause this is fucked up, fucked up 'Cause this is fucked up, fucked up
[Verse 2] People get crushed like biscuit crumbs And laid down in the bitumen You have tried your best to please everyone But it just isn't happening No, it just isn't happening
[Chorus] And it's fucked up, fucked up And this is fucked up, fucked up This your blind spot, blind spot It should be obvious, but it's not
[Chorus] I am your black swan, black swan (But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top) And this is fucked up, fucked up We are black swans, black swans (But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top) And for spare parts, we're broken up You are fucked up, fucked up This is fucked up, fucked up We are black swans, black swans And for spare parts, we're broken up

Black Swan is the fourth song off of Thom Yorke’s 2006 solo album, The Eraser.
A black swan is an unprecedented event that is rationalised afterwards as if it could have been prepared for.
