Lyrics
Built Like That
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
some art's just like a teacup,
when you're looking for a beer
some art, some art, it scares you and some,
some art's about the fear.
some art is a highbrow thing
some art's about the eyebrow ring
some art's about the tattoo
some art's about the artist
and that art's not meant for you:
but my art's not made like that
my art's not meant for that
no, my art's not built like that
my art's not dressed for that.
some art's ecclesiastes,
some art's about the sin
some art it seems just heavenly
and that's great if it lets you in.
some art's all multi-colored til it goes behind the scene
it comes out all multi-corporate
then it only comes in green:
but my art's not made like that
my art's not meant for that
my art's not built like that
my art's not dressed for that.
some art's a one-hit wonder why
they think we're deaf and dumb
it's like the disciples at the last supper
if God fed 'em bubble gum.
some art's a pedigree whitewash,
a cryptic clean cover-up
my art don't need no ivory badge to back up
what's in its gut:
my art's not made like that
my art's not meant for that
no, my art's not built like that
my art's not dressed for that.
some art don't care about you,
what you say or what you do
my art's the Mona Lisa
and she's looking straight at you.
my art wears the same clothes seven days a week
cause my art don't seem to care about
what other people think.
some art's real nice to look at,
some art's all neat and clean
my art forgot her tampon
and she's bleeding through her jeans.
my art forgot her tampon
and she's bleeding through her jeans
yeah, my art don't need no tampon
she'll just bleed through your dreams:
my art's just made like that
my art's just meant for that
my art's just built like that
yeah, my art's just dressed for that
my art's just made like that
my art's just meant for that
my art's just built like that
my heart's just
built like that.
