Levellers Is This Art Lyrics

Is This Art Lyrics

They took me to the battlefield

Saw the mushroom clouds

Said, "I Can see the colours

Even when my head is bowed."

They showed me the destruction

The slaughter a la carte

Isn't nature wonderful

But is this art?



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 tenemenet

Kicked down the door

Said "Have you seen the copulation

Practiced by the poor?"

We select the ones to breed

Then we reject the part

Isn't nature wonderful

But is this art?
