I think the “so unkind” is not as dramatic as cheating or an actual thing that makes them evil, but more the general reflection of themselves, as older, less naïve people.
This is my favorite crows song, and until reading the comments, it hadn’t even crossed my mind that it is so untypical for the crows, but now I see what you guys mean – it’s really a different kind of song. Duritz is one of the best lyricists there are out there.
