Letra Classical 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?
