Eighteen People Living In Harmony Lyrics
the opera is over
the singers have all gone home
seats are all empty
the kitchen is closed
the sidewalks are sprayed down
the blinds are pulled down
foundations unstable
the wrecking ball is back
requiring this band's vacancy
requiring this band's vacancy
rents are rising
our lease is up
culture is down
the symphony's concluded
the instruments are all cased up
notes are silent
but music's still apparent
rents are rising
our lease is up
culture is down
spirits are jaded
art is dying
is art dead
art is dying
is it dead
believing we need it to move on
a one track mind in a one way time
let's go ahead and gentrify
let art die with noble minds
steal a brush and paint boundary lines
for the stale kind of people we'll find
walking in single file line
I think it's time to finally rewind
let's go ahead we might as well
rents are rising
our lease is up
culture is down
spirits are jaded
the singers have all gone home
seats are all empty
the kitchen is closed
the sidewalks are sprayed down
the blinds are pulled down
foundations unstable
the wrecking ball is back
requiring this band's vacancy
requiring this band's vacancy
our lease is up
culture is down
the instruments are all cased up
notes are silent
but music's still apparent
our lease is up
culture is down
spirits are jaded
is art dead
art is dying
is it dead
believing we need it to move on
let's go ahead and gentrify
let art die with noble minds
steal a brush and paint boundary lines
for the stale kind of people we'll find
walking in single file line
I think it's time to finally rewind
let's go ahead we might as well
our lease is up
culture is down
spirits are jaded
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
this song has two meanings...
one is that -as the rest of the album- it talks about how people who suffer from SP experience music that is either they heard once and is subconciously buried or music that they kno anyway...it is very distinct and very intence, then comes to an abrupt stop...
the second meaning is like their song "sanzen" and about how people no longer appreciate art and music, only appreciate the ones that are being fed to them by the media...
This song is really important right now because school around the country are cutting there fine art programs... and acording to Dredg, that isnt a good idea
a one track mind in a one way time let's go ahead and gentrify let art die with noble minds steal a brush and paint boundary lines for the stale kind of people we'll find walking in single file line I think it's time to finally rewind let's go ahead we might as well
i agree 100%, strong bad. It a terrible path we, humanty, is going down... Art is very important in society, and imo, art is one of the only things that we humans have that seperates ourselves from animals.
Art rules all.
money is more important than art.
Yes, if you're do dumb and superficial to appreciate art. I hope you were just trying to be sarcastic or ironic with that comment.
