[Destroyer - City of Daughters lyrics]
Oh, City of Daughters
Is that what you wanted to be?
Oh, City of Daughters
Is that what you wanted to be?
Oh, City of Daughters is it not safe to say
You've come when called?
A minor point of contention
It's the pointlessness of the invention
Trust, there's no need to remind us
We're all dying alone tonight!
In a City of Daughters sister, I confess
I have forgotten just what it is
That you wanted to be
Fluffing and a-folding those clothes that
You were sold in to servicing what it is you
Always wanted to be in Vancouver
Things are simple when they fit you to a "T"
Once again
You have refused the new pornographies
A minor bone of contention
It's the soullessness of the convention
Rock 'n' roll sure came through for you
Why would anybody want it to?
What is it about music that
Lends it'self so well
To business-as-fucking-usual?
A minor source of contention
The resourcelessness of the convention
Rock 'n' roll sure came through for you
Why would anyone want it to?
When we can burn the living proof, go!
Is that what you wanted to be?
Oh, City of Daughters
Is that what you wanted to be?
Oh, City of Daughters is it not safe to say
You've come when called?
A minor point of contention
It's the pointlessness of the invention
Trust, there's no need to remind us
We're all dying alone tonight!
In a City of Daughters sister, I confess
I have forgotten just what it is
That you wanted to be
Fluffing and a-folding those clothes that
You were sold in to servicing what it is you
Always wanted to be in Vancouver
Things are simple when they fit you to a "T"
Once again
You have refused the new pornographies
A minor bone of contention
It's the soullessness of the convention
Rock 'n' roll sure came through for you
Why would anybody want it to?
What is it about music that
Lends it'self so well
To business-as-fucking-usual?
A minor source of contention
The resourcelessness of the convention
Rock 'n' roll sure came through for you
Why would anyone want it to?
When we can burn the living proof, go!
