    LYRICS:
    The comedy of man starts like this:
    Our brains are way too big for our mother’s hips
    So, nature, she devised this alternative:
    We emerge half-formed and hope whoever greets us on the other end
    Is kind enough
    To fill us in
    And, babies, that’s pretty much how it’s been ever since
    Now the miracle of birth leaves a few issues to address
    Like say that half of us are periodically iron deficient
    So somebody’s gotta go kill something while I look after the kids
    I’d do it myself, but what, are you gonna get this thing his milk?
    He says as soon as he gets back from the hunt we can switch
    It’s hard not to fall in love with something so helpless
    Ladies, I hope we don’t end up regretting this
    Comedy
    Now that’s what I call pure comedy
    Just wait until the part where they start to believe
    They’re at the center of everything
    And some all powerful being
    Endowed this horror show with meaning
    Their religions are the best
    They worship themselves but they’re totally obsessed
    With risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks
    In these unbelievable outfits
    And they get terribly upset
    If you question their sacred texts
    Written by woman-hating epileptics
    Their languages just tend to confuse them
    Their confusion somehow makes them more sure
    Now they’re much too bright for the old superstitions
    But they’re yet to find a new one they won’t serve
    Where did they find these clowns they elected to rule them
    They recline in outrage at the
    These mammals are hell-bent on fashioning new gods
    So they can go on being godless animals
    Comedy
    Their illusions that are all that they can see
    Their horizons that just forever recede
    How’s this for irony:
    Their idea of being free
    Is a prison of beliefs
    They’ve every right to never leave
    Comedy
    It’s like something that a madman would conceive
    The only thing that seems to makes them feel alive
    Is the struggle to survive
    But the only thing that they request
    Is something to numb the pain with
    Until there’s nothing human left
    Just random matter suspended in the dark
    Hate to say it, but each other’s all we’ve got

      What if the real irony is not the subject matter in the song but that the song is sung by a privileged white dude that isn't actually affected by any of the injustices he sings about... Powerful.

    • @Rhennismusic
      @Rhennismusic Před 7 lety +21

      Actually, it is called sympathy. "Listen to the ironic song I wrote about injustice!" seems to fall a bit short of empathy...Less talk, more action. OR I guess we could just keep "empathizing" :D

      How much injustice have you faced? I'm just trying to calculate how much validity your opinion has... Seriously though, I don't mean to pick a fight with you or anything. I do think you're vastly underestimating the amount of work it takes to create something like this. To dismiss any work of art as just "talk," particularly a song and a video like this that dozens of very talented people spent hundreds if not thousands of hours on is a little dismaying.

      Oh no, I don't discredit the talent. I don't discredit the guy they paid to make the video or the sound engineer. I'll even give the PR agent kudos. Here is my position: Between "Board in the USA" and "Pure Comedy" the real irony is that you've got a white dude that parties every night writing "scathing" political songs about a status quo he is NOT trying to change. ..."oh humanity, what have we become!" as I have another drink. Maybe talking about injustice is the injustice?

    • @Rhennismusic

      I respect that. I agree people are easily controlled and manipulated. What's worse? Being controlled and manipulated or actually understanding what is going on not doing anything about it? Maybe the irony is that we all listen to FJM songs, agree with the lyrics and continue to live the exact same way. The bigger irony? FJM will continue to write the same songs, live the same way and get royalties from our apathy. Not a bad business model.

      Kev, I disagree. It is a pretty heavy song. I certainly wouldn't compare all Father John Misty's lyrical prowess to say, - Roger Waters, but with this song, I think he could go toe to toe. But, hey, entertainment is subjective. Perhaps I just like that he included images of Trump, Obama, and Clinton in the point of the song singing about, "Goons", and, "Clowns". Finally a song that the left, and right can come together...... Nah, they're still fucked.

    • @renison47
      @renison47 Před 4 lety +9

      Philosophiezerstörer Kant (Please excuse this incoming rant) ... To add to your point, Bosch was a product of his time, not today’s post-religious institution of neo-enlightenment. (At least the educated ones that make up society)
      In his Dark Age of illness and death, the promise of God’s light at the end of our suffering, was good enough back then (and still to many today) to convince people pilgrimage from their hedonist lives to a more pious servitude to the moral right.
      Yet we must remember that Civilization started in the noble pursuit of progress and pushing things forward. We either get busy living (being open minded, ethical and progressive) or get busy dying (irresponsibly using the limited supply of food, water and energy resources and the rising demand due to the cultural or religious incentives to reproduce our species).
      In the grand scale of organic life in time, we live in a phenomenal age, relatively speaking. It’s an experiment and challenge versus being just a bunch of rocks and dust floating in the quiet of space for many millennia.
      This age we live in is civilization. At the start, our ancestors that created this civilization got sick of being hunted and starving so they grouped together and made things better, for easy living, in a pursuit of happiness. Because it’s in our biological instincts to reserve our energy and resources. And thus the resources we mine and harvest that give us commodity bargained as commerce become the pinch-points of our games of power and control... and thus they morph and mutate to become ‘part of our culture’ (political correctness and jingoism).
      And because of our neurological predisposition without principle, we have incentive to not share when we don’t have to. So the turning point in this game-of-power happened when certain sects of people realized they could take advantage of others and get away with it. Oh, and they went all-out to the point they could torture and kill children and get away with it, while refusing to even make the cover-up believable. Because some of the dumb ones believe their lies and turn their “hearts off” when they allow children to endure such hardships and suffering. The sociopaths in power are training the innocent to be fellow heartless sociopaths, foot soldiers for their “duty” or “culture war.” They think we’re stupid and treat us that way. (“Because what are you gonna do about it?”)
      They are like crony mobsters in suits. They get to keep their resources with an excuse to the people that there’s a bigger purpose for all involved. But only as long as you’re “on the right side”.
      Don’t matter if they call it God, the tithings, Nationalism, Honor, Loyalty, The Corporation, The Culture, Materialism worship, Social Status chasing, etc... Pick your poison. Or you’ll get accused of treason, intolerance or worse... be the scapegoat in a society of intolerant and insecure fools who are traitors to their own well-being. Hypocritical outrage.
      The cronies are pitting us against each other. They some success when they did it Black American lives in response to the Civil Rights Movement... and then again in this decade. But instead of “black-on-black” crimes it’s become human-on-human injustices. They want us all to fight each other like it’s the damn Hunger Games as they watch in comfort.
      These cronies take from the have-nots and make over-pious excuses why they don’t give back. Because they built a systemic prison of beliefs to brainwash the minds of children and people who are lost and vulnerable, so they have no option to just obey... “It’s what God wants”, “what your Government needs”, “it’s company policy”, “the cultural norms” of being politically correct and tolerant of even crimes against others or themselves, even innocent children.
      These people in this world, for a long time have always wanted more of us than them so that they can have us do the jobs for them and they reap the benefits. Yet it’s high time we make them reap what they sow and pay back their dues, rightfully so. But violence breeds more violence, so let’s tread carefully but with defiant conviction. Our Aim is True.
      It seems best to go about this through justice and the hard work from the ground up and feet on the ground. If you are already living a “good life”, then keep doing it without feelings of guilt and just keep giving back when you can afford to.
      So that’s where the optimist in me would view this Pure Comedy of a chaotic mess. We’ve been hairless apes that created an irresponsible and unethical mess on this beautiful and unique planet that’s just getting shit on, worse every year. Because it’s in our biology to put our emotions and our ego ahead of other people’s, or even entire nations of people. The nihilist cynic would view us like rapidly reproducing bacteria with brains and two legs.
      We’ve been divided by their lies and we stay divided by their lies.
      Society isn’t any worse than it probably was in Bosch’s time when he creatively imagined Hell on Earth during the Dark Ages. It’s bad now but let’s not make it any worse, let’s keep working to push things forward.
      Open minds, inspire, lead the way, “don’t do onto others what you wouldn’t want done onto you.”
      The fact that we are merely hairless apes, Homo sapiens, and have created the love and art and engineering that we have so far, from cave walls all the way to Mars, should be inspiring to all. We’re not just mere human beings, we are human and that’s the phenomenon we can take modest pride in. Humility and empathy got us through the wars and it will again. Prove yourself!
      We are all growing up together in this shit. And the nonsensical brutality of nature and the absurd brutality of man can be overcome. The optimist wants to believe that, that we can overcome because we always have, up until the moment of crisis. But this is a right shitter of a situation we find ourselves in, so let’s congregate and gameplan and not get stuck in a vicious cycle of pointing the finger. Be part of the solution, not the problem.
      So let’s stay together and push through the selfish psychopaths that keep us from progressing. I don’t hate to say this but each other is all we got.
      And that’ll be enough.

    Whenever I make a comment on something, I always have a sense that, of the hundreds or thousands of people that looked at, read, or viewed the same content I just did, most of them never say a word. They could be apathetic, or uninformed. I think that's what people who do comment like to imagine, but they could really be the wiser, more thoughtful, sane people just sitting there wondering why anyone would write anything. This song is more or less what I imagine they are thinking most of the time.

    It's the best diss track of humanity I've ever seen. Lots of truth here and the reason it's so great is there's not a goddamn thing we can do about any of it, we took our paths as the most aware species on Earth and it's gonna be the reason we all die, too bad just too many different points of view on how things should be and the ones in charge just got the wrong points of view... They always have.

      "we took our paths as the most aware species on Earth and it's gonna be the reason we all die, too bad just too many different points of view on how things should be and the ones in charge just got the wrong points of view... They always have."
      It's not about being wrong, and it's not about what paths we take. The comedy lies in the fact that what we do doesn't matter, and what we could have done doesn't matter as well, we're still gonna end up being goners, and the irony is that we are intelligent enough (as a species) to know that, so we manifest our terror in a collective hysteria that is depicted in the song. The thing about hysteria is: you can't really tell where it will take you next, as you can't control yourself anymore, so things might get even funnier than this in the future, to the delight of the nihilist who made a purpose out of watching how miserable we can get.

    Safe to say this will be the most beautiful thing I'll hear all day. Wow. FJM your third album is going to be stacked. Seems like you continue to out-do yourself. Also, a funny story from your show at Massy Hall in Toronto last year:
    There was a girl in the crowd pretending to be overly involved with her cell in hopes you'd take her phone - you did. I'm not sure if you knew she was being disingenuous or not, since you never ended up taking any pics. I looked over and told her you must be on to her at which point she forced herself onstage and succeeded in taking a selfie, which annoyed me. The irony here is that when she got back down in the pit to check how the pic came out it had failed, she had missed the shot! Her face was priceless and this whole mess was just amazing, poetic in a way.
