It Ain't Art
Written by: maurice richard libby
There you are, all dressed in black,
Your hair's an inspiring sight.
The rips in your jeans are artfully placed,
You're accessorized just right.
You know just how to look and speak
You know how to play the part.
But let me tell you something that you don't know,
That's fashion, it ain't art.
You know all the right names to drop,
You've got the jargon down.
Your work is seen by the people who count,
In all the right parts of town.
Every thing you do is politically correct,
You've learned the part by heart.
But let me tell you something that you don't know--
That's fashion, it ain't art.
You know you've got something real to say,
If you only get the chance,
But for now you have to make your name,
before you take a stance.
You think you need security--
Be safe before you start.
But let me tell you something that you don't know--
That's business--it ain't art.

Thanks for the comments. Firebird--I kind of agree with you, a little, at least. I mixed and mastered it like a Jazz or Classical recording, with almost no compression. The whole CD is like that. My next CD is going to mastered a little more like a Pop recording, although not with Red Hot Chillie Peppers' compression.
Markyone, thanks dude, I'm glad to see that the scat stuff reaches out.
This is a very tasty blues/jazz piece. Nice backing with some excellent instrumental passages. I loved the skat style delivery on the vox. Excellent number well done
