"The New York Guide To Art" lyrics

"The New York Guide To Art"

He tried to gouge out both his eyes
While screaming "Art is only for the blind"
He caught sepsis, he almost died
But he did it all for art

Somebody shouted "My kid could do that"
He shouted back "Your kid is dumb and fat"
He looks ridiculous in that hat
This is your New York guide to art

Seven years ago she turned 23
But Pitchfork says that she's just 19
The greatest thing on the New York scene
And she does it all for art

Her daddy owns a record company
He's changed her image alphabetically
She might be glam or gothabilly
In the New York guide to art

If you think we picked an easy target
Well that's because you just don't get it
Send us some money, you won't regret it
For your New York guide to art

And we did it all for art
