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
