Lyrics Father John Misty

Father John Misty

Holy Shit

Ancient holy wars

Dead religions, holocausts

New regimes, old ideas

That's now myth, that's now real

Original sin, genetic fate

Revolutions, spinning plates

It's important to stay informed

The commentary to comment on

Oh, and no one ever really knows you, and life is brief

So I've heard, but what's that gotta do with this black hole in me?

Age-old gender roles

Infotainment, capital

Golden bows and mercury

Bohemian nightmare, dust bowl chic

This documentary's lost on me

Satirical news, free energy

Mobile lifestyle, loveless sex

Independence, happiness

Oh, and no one ever knows the real you, and life is brief

So I've heard, but what's that gotta do with this atom bomb in me?

Coliseum families

The golden era of TV

Eunuch sluts, consumer slaves

A rose by any other name

Carbon footprint, incest streams

Fuck the mother in the green

Planet cancer, sweet revenge

Isolation, online friends

Oh, and love is just an institution based on human frailty

What's your paradise gotta do with Adam and Eve?

Maybe love is just an economy based on resource scarcity

But what I fail to see is what that's gotta do with you and me
