Lyric discussion by OliMCFC 

There isn't much that I feel I need A solid soul and the blood I bleed With a little girl, and by my spouse I only want a proper house

I don't care for fancy things Or to take part in the vicious race But to provide, for one who asks, I will, with heart, on my father's grave

I don't mean To seem like I care about material things Like our social stats I just want Four walls and adobe slats For my girls

thanks I think these are more accurate

i think it's my father's graCe. makes more sense because it rhymes with race and all that

I think it's "on my fathers grave" but animal collective are excellent at making things sound different. It also sounds like "by my father's grace" Excellent vocalists. I'm pretty sure these are the most accurate after listening to this song a hundred times.
