Modern art
makes me
want to rock out
So, I'm in the Tate
And I'm looking at a Hockney
and wow, there's something amazing about that blue
It makes me want to step outside
I want to loosen my tie
Sweet Jesus, my heart is beating faster and faster
I'm palpitating
I'm sweating
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
Modern art
makes me
want to rock out
So, I'm in the Pompidou
That's in Paris
And the French, they're far more laid back about their art galleries
There's little children running around
I see a piece by Matisse
That's my window of opportunity
I take five steps back
I put my head down
And I run at it!
Modern art
makes me
want to rock out
Modern art
Makes me
Want to rock out
