Letra de The Next 20th Century - Father John Misty

The nazis that we hired

For our wedding band

Played your anthem like I wasn't there

For the father-daughter dance

From the boondocks of Egypt

To the nosebleeds at Calvary

Recite your history of oppression, babe

While you are under me

There's no doubting the devotion

My ancestors had for yours

Now we've got all the love to pay for

Like a thousand different wars

A square foot of empire

Around the peep show slot

I see an avatar of mercy

With the same damn jeembles that I've got

The boss wants to be anonymous

The talent wants to be seen

We weren't paying for your body, Lord

We were paying you to leave

Now who will watch the chorus line

Stretching from Reno to Rome

Listen, Cherry, I know you love me

But say you love me 'fore you go

Val Kilmer had a wall length

Mirror just over there

Well, I'm sure he's someone else now

But he was Batman when he lived here

Maybe he's Yankee Zulu

Just waiting for the flood

And maybe Mac the Conqueror

With the severed head of love

I've seen him wearing aviators

And a black baseball hat

Stalking airports 'cross the bardo

Quiet as a wildcat

The wheel is turning

From night into day

Everything's in transition

Everything must change

But none of us here

Will ever see the promised land

None of us here will be there for

Childhood's end

I see ya, you student debtors

In the watchtower overhead

Searchin' for headlights in the driveway

Crying "Dad, look what they did"

Just look, even their romance

Made us masters and slaves

And now things keep getting worse

While staying so eerily the same

Come build your burial grounds on our burial grounds

But you won't kill death that way

I don't know 'bout you, but I'll take the love songs

And give you the future in exchange

I don't know 'bout you, but I'll take the love songs

If this century's here to stay

I don't know 'bout you, but I'll take the love songs

And the great distance that they came
