Emergency Funding for the Arts Lyrics

Live your whole life with the blinders on
Keep sucking on the same dog you're sucking on
Get back on the road and keep trucking on
Until the wheels fall off
And it hurts and it hurts
And it bleeds and it squirts
And you've tried everything but it only gets worse

And that's how it starts
Emergency funding for the arts

See the crazy man with the shiny glove
Pointing his glove at the skies above
Singing "all you need is love
"Love is all you need"
And you listen to the music
But the music ain't gonna listen to you
But it's something to do
And it's something you need

And that's how it starts
Emergency funding for the arts

Come on Mister
Play me some of that good old fashioned
Artificial music (artificial music)
Artificial music (artificial music)
Come on!

And you
With the crazy eyes
I turned my gaze into
Time flew
And made you what you are
An underfunded star
That's how it starts
Emergency funding for the arts (That's how it starts)
Emergency funding for the arts (That's how it starts)
Emergency funding
Emergency funding
Emergency funding
Yeah, man
