Lyrics for Stendhal Syndrome

Did you see that painting what Rothko did? Looks like it was painted by a two year old kid Hot air Hot air Ignorance is bliss, yeah? Well I'm not pleased C'ause you spread your opinion like a rectal disease Hot air Hot air Did you see that photo what Bellingham took? He needs to take a leaf out the screensaver book Hot air Hot air If all photos were as you wanted them to be There would be page three as far as the eye could see Hot air Hot air Forgive me you sound stupid Here lies the one I love Forgive me you sound stupid Here lies the one I love Did you see that selfie what Francis Bacon did? Don't look nothing like him, what a fucking div Hot air Hot air Did you see that painting what Basquiat done? Looks like it was drawn by my four year old son Hot air Hot air Forgive me you sound stupid Here lies the one I love Forgive me you sound stupid Here lies the one I love Here he is, somehow Oh, here he is, somehow Hey!
