lyrics

Brit Art.

Eyes inwards!
Brit art, Brit art, Brit art, Brit art, Brit art.
Halt!

The breath of a Boeing
Is nothing compared
To emissions of Emin
That poison the air.

Sir Anthony Gormless –
He makes no gaping mouth!
Angel of the north,
Asshole of the south!

I like to play with the idea of death
And I like to call it ‘the work’.

Pickled in alcohol,
Encased in Groucho Club,
Degrader of the beasts,
Now you’re God above!

Long walks in the desert,
Dirt upon his hands,
Mother nature thank him;
He’s a Jesus Bobby Sands!

Remember you land or man?
That‘s the Rothko in the vault!

They’re Babies of the Baroness
They’re Babies of the Baroness Thatcher

A horse upon a hillside
So noble and so pure,
Pass the sick nose-bag
Its just more Brit manure!

Cum fill the holes
Of Henry Moore
Cum fill the holes
Of Jake Chapman too!

I show my taste in a bottle of Becks
Now you show me yours.

They’re Babies of the Baroness
They’re Babies of the Baroness Thatcher etc
