All I can say is that it takes all ten fingers when I cover this on the piano
but it is fun to play it, the bass line is all over the place
They're educated so their lyrics are going to be complex
It's a mix of direct statements about lineage and subtle snide inference to the wealthy that talk more about art that actually doing it
(the last verse)
"Interesting colors
I discovered myself" - found their own style and perform it
"If your art life is gritty you'll be toasting my health" - I'm doing it - you're not
and this is the best line, a complex and smart jab at critics and wealthy "artists"
"If an interest in culture should be lining the walls
When your birth right is interest you could just accrue it all" - the wealthy and educated dictate what is art and what is not
and when you are born with money and privilege you are entitled to say whatever you want and buy whatever you want
they don't have to do anymore than talk about it and own it
