a town for the arts? poor we of the marts!

you think money grows out of the blue!

if not for our trucks and our shops making bucks

who's gonna build it for you?

 

imagine the way the agents on the bay

push a house with its millionaire's pride

for five hundred grand ya get a pic on a stand

yet for art promotion's denied

 

take all of your cities and each of your towns

and duplicate the structure once more

like you did with the campus, even though they're a bit slow

it's time for more art seeds to grow

 

cities surrounded as enlightenment's re-founded

outlining the venturing hue

less likely a joke to non-artist folk

as more learn of what they can do
