Why there’s certain work
Stick in mind
For the culture in general
And then last
Why is a lot of it fleeting?
That’s an important thing for me
In terms of an artist
Is that their stuff stick in mind
Doesn't get out of the mind
How, how, how
How
Do you
How, how, how
How
Do you
All the things
Which I say
That you do know
It’s the purpose of art
How do you know
All that you know?
The eye changes
The eye blinks
Gone
You into another mode
It may, it may be a better mode
I don’t know
You never know
It’s the purpose of art
We all make it up as we go on
Really want to know
What’s going on
How do you know
All that you know?
The eye changes
The eye blinks
Gone
You into another mode
It may, it may be a better mode
I don’t know
You never know
It’s the purpose of art
You have been taught
To obey
Can you unlearn?
It’s the purpose of art
Think for yourself now
It’s the purpose of art
All the things
Which I say
That I don’t know
Tell me, do you know?
How do you know?
It’s the purpose of art
All the things
Which I say
That I don’t know
Can I tell you?
How do I even know?
It’s the purpose of art
Tell me, do you know
What’s going on?
So when people say
Oh well did you do this?
Did you do that?
Not really
Not really
But yes, everything
Not really but yes, everything
It’s the purpose of art
