Verse:
Em
they took me to the battlefield
C
saw the mushroom clouds, said
Em
�i can see the colours even
C
when my head is bowed� they
Em
showed me the destruction, the
C
slaughter a la carte
Am
isn�t nature wonderful,
G D
but is this
Em
art?
Em � C � Em � C
they took me to the hospital
and pulled aside the sheet,
said �look at that pulsating,
just listen to the beat�
showed me the incision
then took away my heart
isn�t nature wonderful, but is this art?
they took me to the scientist,
opened up a phial
said �this is only chickenpox
and rhino bile.�
showed me what it did to mice
and this is just the start.
isn�t nature wonderful,
but is this art?
took me to the tenement
kicked down the door
said have you seen the copulation
practised by the poor
we select the ones to breed
then we reject the part
isn�t nature wonderful,
but is this art?
