The Art/Income Dialectic

Righto - short, sweet and vitriolic

Art is for the filthy rich and their noble fucking minds
Cause they're the only arseholes with any fucking time
To get to the theatres and the galleries and the restaurants to dine
All the grotty working class are working down the mines

They're really very self aware
And like to love all men
And don't like to eat eggs that come from a battery hen
And support univeral justice
And think life is absurd
Just like they've read in Kafka (1) and the other bloody pretentious nerds

I'd rather ride to Broady (2) and get my face beat in
Disfigured for life by some lethal lout with a piece of tin
And when I'm in my hospital bed
My face slashed down the middle
At least I won't be called
Artistic
Or any of that piddle
