lyrics
Holy Smokes, these future Jokes
You called me on my land line just to blow some smoke
And tell me that our whole life feels like a hoax
Just like the lunar landing and those talking goats
Surprise surprise surprise
Can’t you see it shining in my eyes
Surprise surprise surprise
We’re all so learned and so civilized my baby
Holy smokes these future jokes
Eight billion people spinning just like bicycle spokes
The cinematic scope of the apocalypse
When it all goes to hell there won’t be nothing left
But chips and dips in mini-marts
But what’s the shelf life of a broken heart
Surprise surprise surprise
Can’t you see it shining in my eyes
Surprise surprise surprise
We’re all so learned and so civilized my baby
Holy smokes these future jokes
Found your number on a scrap of paper in my coats
The earth has been around for several billion years
And all us humans think we’re special but
We’re nothing but the unshed tears
Of a distant star, never knowing just who we are.
Surprise surprise surprise
Can’t you see it shining in my eyes
Surprise surprise surprise
Our masochism goes so undisguised
Surprise surprise surprise
We’re all so learned and so civilized my baby

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart
