    Story Behind the Song
    This is my little 'reality check' to the world...my take on the 'state' of things in the world of music. (If you listen carefully, toward the end, you can hear the faint echos of things to come) :-)

    Lyrics
    This is the State Of The Art

    When you turn on your radio
    Do you hear anything at all?
    When you turn on your MTV
    Is it nothing but Real World and game shows?

    I can remember when creation was good
    And the human art of music was new

    When I turn on my radio
    I hear the same thing all around
    Somebody screaming, somebody choking
    On a stale, cheap guitar sound

    Don't you remember what a good thing it was
    To be moved to a higher concentration?

    The music of the Americans
    Turning circles on a 'Night Flight'
    Headed for nowhere
    The music of the millenium: pure mental emancipation

    This is the State Of The Art

    When I step in the studio
    I treat the work for what it's really worth
    An ancient language spoken everywhere -
    Throughout the universe and planet Earth

    I have the power - ornate or sublime -
    Within the hour, I complete another child of time

    When you step to the microphone
    Do you really think that you can sing?
    Most of us here in the audience
    We can't understand a damn thing

    I can show you what it's really about
    And I don't even have to shout

    The music of the Americans
    Turning circles on a 'Night Flight'
    Headed for nowhere
    The music of the millenium: awaiting the transformation

    This is the State Of The Art

    I'm so tired of all this nonsense
    So uninspired...spinning round and round and round and round and round

    If I could, you know I would
    And it would be so very, very, very, very, very good

    Like this...

    The music of the Americans
    Turning circles on a 'Night Flight'
    Headed for nowhere
    The music of The Continuum: the clear device of giants

    This is the State Of The Art
