Blitzen Trapper - Holy Smokes Future Jokes lyrics

Holy smokes, these future Jokes
You call me on my landline
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 oh, my baby
Oh, my baby oh, my baby
Oh, my baby hey, hey hey yeah

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 oh, my baby
Oh, my baby oh, my baby
