Pure Comedy - Father John Misty

[00:14.92]The comedy of man starts like this
[00:21.77]Our brains are way too big for our mothers' hips
[00:30.40]And so Nature, she divines this alternative
[00:38.45]We emerged half-formed and hope that whoever greets us on the other end
[00:49.40]Is kind enough to fill us in
[00:56.64]And, babies, that's pretty much how it's been ever since
[01:06.55]Now the miracle of birth leaves a few issues to address
[01:13.30]Like, say, that half of us are periodically iron deficient
[01:20.67]So somebody's got to go kill something while I look after the kids
[01:28.47]I'd do it myself, but what, are you going to get this thing its milk?
[01:36.95]He says as soon as he gets back from the hunt, we can switch
[01:45.87]It's hard not to fall in love with something so helpless
[01:54.32]Ladies, I hope we don't end up regretting this
[02:03.78]Comedy, now that's what I call pure comedy
[02:15.81]Just waiting until the part where they start to believe
[02:21.99]They're at the center of everything
[02:25.41]And some all powerful being endowed this horror show with meaning
[02:36.27]Oh, their religions are the best
[02:42.00]They worship themselves yet they're totally obsessed
[02:49.17]With risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks, these unbelievable outfits
[02:58.52]And they get terribly upset
[03:02.48]When you question their sacred texts
[03:06.63]Written by woman-hating epileptics
[03:16.10]Their languages just serve to confuse them
[03:23.70]Their confusion somehow makes them more sure
[03:31.55]They build fortunes poisoning their offspring
[03:39.27]And hand out prizes when someone patents the cure
[03:46.93]Where did they find these goons they elected to rule them?
[03:54.52]What makes these clowns they idolize so remarkable?
[04:01.98]These mammals are hell-bent on fashioning new gods
[04:09.39]So they can go on being godless animals
[04:45.25]Oh comedy, their illusions they have no choice but to believe
[04:58.24]Their horizons that just forever recede
[05:03.86]And how's this for irony, their idea of being free is a prison of beliefs
[05:14.22]That they never ever have to leave
[05:17.67]Oh comedy, oh it's like something that a madman would conceive!
[05:29.87]The only thing that seems to make them feel alive is the struggle to survive
[05:38.87]But the only thing that they request is something to numb the pain with
[05:47.64]Until there's nothing human left
[05:56.66]Just random matter suspended in the dark
[06:05.25]I hate to say it, but each other's all we got
