"Classical"

In times of war, the educated class knew what to do

In times of peace, their pupils couldn't meet your baby blues

400 million animals competing for the zoo

It's such a bleak sunrise

Untrue, unkind and unnatural

How the cruel, with time, becomes classical

I know that walls fall, shacks shake

Bridges burn and bodies break

It's clear something's gonna change

And when it does, which classical remains?

The temple's gone, but still a single column stands today

That sinking feeling fades, but never really goes away

A staircase up to nothingness inside your DNA

Well, that's a bleak sunrise

Untrue, unkind and unnatural

How the cruel, with time, becomes classical

I know that walls fall, shacks shake

Bridges burn and bodies break

It's clear something's gonna change

And when it does, which classical remains?

Untrue, unkind and unnatural

How the cruel, with time, becomes classical

I know that walls fall, shacks shake

Bridges burn and bodies break

It's clear something's gonna change

And when it does, which classical remains?
