Art ain't Got to...

Verse 1

Canvas in my mind

Colors I can't see

Brush moves

But the hand don't know where it's bound

Nature hides the map

In a maze of silent schemes

I paint for the paint

Not for the crowd that dreams

Pre-Chorus

Looking outside

That's a trap I've seen before

Looking outside

You lose the door

Chorus

Art ain't got no purpose

Purpose ain't the point

Art ain't got no moral

Moral's just a joint

You light it up

You let it burn

You never know

What you'll return

Verse 2

Preacher on the corner

Wilde with his wicked grin

Both of them performing

Both of them giving in

I don't write to please you

I don't write to sting

I write because the shadow

Needs the song I sing

Pre-Chorus

Looking outside

That's a trap I've seen before

Looking outside

You lose the door

Chorus

Art ain't got no purpose

Purpose ain't the point

Art ain't got no moral

Moral's just a joint

You light it up

You let it burn

You never know

What you'll return

Bridge

Dark labyrinth

Nature's design

I follow the thread

And it follows mine

I don't need to know

Where the street ends

The work is the work

The means are the ends

Chorus

Art ain't got no purpose

Purpose ain't the point

Art ain't got no moral

Moral's just a joint

You light it up

You let it burn

You never know

What you'll return
