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
