| Is This Art ? |
| They took me to the battlefield Saw the mushroom clouds Said 'I can see the colours Even when my head is bowed' And they showed me the destruction The slaughter a la carte And isn't nature wonderful But is this art? They took me to the hospital And pulled aside the sheet Said 'Look at that pulsating. Just listen to the beat' And they showed me the incision Then took away the heart And isn't nature wonderful But is this art? They took me to the scientist, Who opened up a phial He said 'This is only chicken pox And rhino bile' And they showed me what it did to mice They said 'This is just the start' And isn't nature wonderful But is this art? They took me to the tenement And kicked down the door They said:'Have you seen the copulation, Practised by the poor We select the ones to breed Then we reject the part' And isn't nature wonderful But is this art? |
