about

This song is about:

Selling Art
Appropriation of art as propaganda
The fears of 'selling out'
The need to sell out
The need to try keep one's soul in a world full of vampires.

lyrics

My Apologies Picasso (Guernica)
lyrics
Misplaced apostrophe,
Our English teachers hopping in the bright white,
The lines of "Let It Be" are dripping with catastrophe,
A lost fight,
And as it happens, the villians caught us napping,
Blessed hindsight,
Escaping air with timers -
Counting down the anxious climbers turned right,
Turned right,

Getting off on the wrong foot, My apologies Picasso,
Getting off on the wrong foot, My apologies Picasso,
My apologies Picasso.

Outragious calories, he spent his two months salary in one bite,
In one bite,
They spin his centerfuge, Uranium, Enormous, HUGE,
Grossly inventive,
Grossly inventive,
THE POSSIBILITIES! An endless can of pork and beans!
A bright light!

Getting off on the wrong foot, My apologies Picasso,
Getting off on the wrong foot, My apologies Picasso,
My apologies Picasso,
Apologies!
My apologies!

Point of view, on floor two;

"You got a BIG, BIG story, bub,
You GOTTA-GOTTA-GOTTA!
Make a scene, make a big scene,
Make obscene ... CASH!"

"Hanging low, make a show,
When the lighting's right you gotta,
GOTTA-GOTTA-GOTTA!
Display That Way,
You know how ... to do it ..."

It's our philosophy to balance out atrocity,
Is that right?
Guernica calls to me,
Since 7th grade-book history,
A test fight?
Guernica calls to me,
The majesty of travesty,
Offends sight,
But, paying mundane bills,
Wins saving all the wicked ills,

But ... not quite,

... Not Quite.
