THE FOREMEN lyrics : "Who Needs Art?"

Art is fair and Art is fine
A holy elevation from the lowly swine
A thing of beauty in the grand design

Aaaa... who needs it?

Art is Man's redeeming grace

Illuminates and educates the human race
It's too expensive and it takes up space
Aaaa... who needs it?


Art is never understood
Especially when it's good

It gives us chills

Art speaks to us from each distant land

Reminding us of our telephone bills

Art is noble and refined

The loftiest endeavor of the human mind
So paint a picture of my fat behind
Aaaa... who needs it?


Art is "Phantom" and "Les Miz"
I don't know much about it but I know what it is

It ain't a crucifix submerged in whiz
Aaaa... who needs it?


Art is never what it seems
It drives us to extremes
It makes us think


Art shows how lovely are lives can be
Reminding us that our real lives stink


Art is ageless and sublime
A waste of otherwise productive time

It leads to Yoga, Hacky Sack and Mime
Who needs it? Who needs it? Who needs it? Who needs it?


Who needs Art?
Who needs Art?
Who needs Art?

When you're renewing American civilization

Art is lewd and Art is vile ?


Wait! I'd like to say a word in Art's defense
Art doesn't make a lot of sense

And so it's easy to ignore

And, furthermore

It helps us forget about money and war
It helps us remember what we're living for...



Right! Money and war!



Artists are vain, corrupt and fat
They spend our taxes "finishing the hat"


They paint us pretty pictures...


Well, we've got politicians to do that
Who needs it, who needs it, who needs it, who needs it?


Who needs Art?
Who needs Art?
Who needs Art?


Who needs Art?
When you're renewing American civilization

By ridding the nation of edification?
