Father John Misty - Ballad of the Dying Man

  • 0:25 - 0:31
    Naturally the dying
    man wonders to himself
  • 0:33 - 0:39
    His commentary been more
    lucid than anybody else
  • 0:39 - 0:45
    And had he successfully
    beaten back the rising tide
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    Of idiots, dilettantes and fools
  • 0:50 - 0:56
    Were on his watch while he was alive
  • 0:57 - 1:06
    Lord, just a little more time
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    Oh, in no time at all
  • 1:16 - 1:20
    This will be the distant past
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    Ooh
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    So says the dying
    man once I’m in the box
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    Just think of all the
    overrated hacks running amok
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    And all of the pretentious
  • 1:50 - 1:54
    Ignorant voices that will go unchecked
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    The homophobes, hipsters and 1%
  • 1:59 - 2:03
    The false feminists
    he’d managed to detect
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    Oh, who will critique
    them once he’s left
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    Oh, in no time at all
  • 2:25 - 2:29
    This will be the distant past
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    What he’d give for one
    more day to rate and analyze
  • 2:41 - 2:45
    The world made in his
    image as of yet to realize
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    What a mess
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    To leave behind
  • 3:04 - 3:08
    Eventually the dying
    man takes his final breath
  • 3:11 - 3:13
    But first checks his newsfeed
  • 3:13 - 3:17
    To see what he’s about to miss
  • 3:17 - 3:21
    It occurs to him a
    little late in the game
  • 3:23 - 3:27
    We leave as clueless as we came
  • 3:29 - 3:33
    From the rented heavens
    to the shadows in the cave
  • 3:35 - 3:39
    We’ll all be wrong someday
  • 3:47 - 3:50
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  • 3:55 - 3:58
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  • 4:07 - 4:11
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  • 4:14 - 4:17
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  • 4:21 - 4:24
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  • 4:27 - 4:30
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  • 4:34 - 4:37
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
