Lyrics for New Art Riot
Vintage aromas and vintage ideals Old men greying to a dying country's needs Waiting for a knighthood to while away the hours Listen and learn now it's time to kill your betters Museums are dead, take a new art stance Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat Hospital closures kill more than car bombs ever will And it saves money because people are expendable Cold shoulder insurgents and love arms dealers Everybody's taking drugs because it makes governing easier Museums are dead, take a new art stance Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat Sell out the past and learn to obey You spit out and douse a molotov cocktail Revolution soon dies, sold out for a pay rise China, Russia, England, all washed up in power abuse Terrorism is an excuse that the ruling class use Wipe out aristocracy now, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill England makes judgements of old school propaganda The only threat to heads are silenced by dumb pleasure Museums are dead, take a new art stance Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat
