lirik lagu father john misty – pure comedy
[intro]
at six-
for some reason when i go to the app…
[verse 1]
the comedy of man starts like this:
our brains are way too big for our mothers’ hips
and so nature, she devised this alternative:
we emerge half-formed and hope whoever greets us on the other end
is kind enough to fill us in
and babies, that’s pretty much how it’s been ever since
now the miracle of birth leaves a few issues to address
like, say, that half of us are periodically iron deficient
so somebody’s gotta go k!ll something while i look after the kids
i’d do it myself, but what, are you gonna to get this thing it’s milk?
he says as soon as he gets back from the hunt, we can switch
it’s hard not to fall in love with something so helpless
ladies, i hope we don’t end up regretting this
[chorus 1]
comedy, now that’s what i call pure comedy
just wait until the part where they start to believe
they’re at the center of everything
and some all-powerful being
endowed this horror show with meaning
[verse 2]
oh, their religions are the best
they worship themselves yet they’re totally obsessed
with risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks
these unbelievable outfits
and they get terribly upset
when you question their sacred texts
written by woman-hating epileptics
their languages just serve to confuse them
their confusion somehow makes them more sure
they build fortunes poisoning their offspring
and hand out prizes when someone patents the cure
where did they find these goons they elected to rule them?
what makes these clowns they idolize so remarkable?
these mammals are h-ll-bent on fashioning new gods
so they can go on being godless animals
[interlude]
[chorus 2]
oh comedy, their illusions they have no choice but to believe
their horizons that just forever recede
and how’s this for irony:
their idea of being free is a prison of beliefs
that they never ever have to leave
oh comedy, oh it’s like something that a madman would conceive!
the only thing that seems to make them feel alive
is the struggle to survive
but the only thing that they request
is something to numb the pain with
until there’s nothing human left
[outro]
just random matter suspended in the dark
i hate to say it, but each other’s all we’ve got
