Vampire Weekend - Ice Cream Piano

"Fuck the world"
You said it quiet
No one could hear you
No one but me
Cynical, you can't deny it

You don't want to win this war
'Cause you don't want the peace

Armistice, we never tried it
You're a soldier
I'm police
Listen, baby
We can't deny it

You don't want to win this war
'Cause you don't want the peace

The word was weaponized
As soon as it had passed your lips
I am a gentle man
I refuse to show my gentleness

"Fuck around and find out"
The angry child recites this every day
The universe will pry out
The truth, which is you've got nothing to say

In dreams, I scream, "Piano"
I softly reach the high note
The world don't recognize
A singer who won't sing

You talk of Serbians
Whisper, "Kosovar Albanians"
The boy's Romanian
Third-generation Transylvanian

I see the vampires walking
Don't be gripped by fear, you aren't next
We're all the sons and daughters
Of vampires who drained the old world's necks

In dreams, I scream, "Piano"
I softly reach the high note
The world don't recognize
A singer who won't sing

In dreams, I scream, "Piano"
I softly reach the high note
The world don't recognize
A singer who won't sing
