classical

Vampire Weekend

In times of war, the educated class knew what to do
In times of peace
their pupils couldn t meet your baby blues
Four hundred million animals competing for the zoo
It s such a bleak sunrise

Untrue, unkind and unnatural
How the cruel, with time, becomes classical

I know that walls fall, shacks shake
Bridges burn and bodies break
It s clear something s gonna change
And when it does, which classical remains?

The temple s gone, but still a single column stands today
That sinking feeling fades
But never really goes away
A staircase up to nothingness inside your DNA
Well, that s a bleak sunrise

Untrue, unkind and unnatural
How the cruel, with time
becomes classical

I know that walls fall, shacks shake
Bridges burn and bodies break
It s clear something s gonna change
And when it does, which classical remains?

Untrue, unkind and unnatural
How the cruel, with time
becomes classical

I know that walls fall, shacks shake
Bridges burn and bodies break
It s clear something s gonna change
And when it does, which classical remains?
