lyrics

Stop right where you are move ten feet back
away from the wall where the painting’s at
I’m not here to explain what the artist felt
I can’t and I won’t and I never will

the museum of modern art
I watch like a hawk protecting priceless
pieces brought to you in part
by countless small donations from
countless small vacations

I’m an art guard (x3)
I guard the art (x3)

art all around me as I stand
a 12 hour shift at 9 am
and it all begins to look the same
perhaps I’ll understand

one day I finally see it clear
the beauty in an abstract painting
as my world it disappears
a toddler in a stroller
destroys a priceless sculpture
