Vampire Weekend — Classical

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?
