On Sunday March 19th, Father John Misty dropped a trio of “Generic Pop Songs”. Seemingly released ironically, these songs parody many tropes commonly found in contemporary popular music.
[Verse 1]
Oh lord, what's god got to do with fading circumstance
Forever or a one night stand
You can have faith or you can be a man
While we lay around
I can tell you where I stand
[Pre Chorus]
Oh, we are blind and I'm yours, but I know this for sure now
Oh, I'm no faithful servant no more
No more hands to the sky
No more knees on the floor
[Chorus]
All I owe you is my love
Still here for you if it's still enough
One thing is certain, the world don't need us
So forget what they say, it's not the same
We'll try again and I'll die that way
[Verse 2]
Oh yes, here again
The divine comedy with my favorite demons
Left my life somewhere at the bottom of these drinks and
I just payed tomorrow for what all I spent this weekend
[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]
All I owe you is my self
Every other person is just someone else
Give me your sins when they are giving you hell
I'll look the other way, God don't explain
Look at my face and let it fade
[Chorus]
