Lyrics

[Intro]
Excuse me, 'scuse
Excuse me
'Scuse me
[Chorus]
That's not art
That's not music
That's not art
That's not music
We don't have no reason
To have to play that in our homes
That's not art
That's not music
Yes
[Verse 1]
Here I stand
Here I stand
Here I stand
Emotionally hurt
Physically deserted
[Verse 2]
Rejected
Neglected
Rejected
Step right up
Step right up
Step right up
Pay the price of admission
And you can come on in
Step right up
Come on in
Pay the price
[Verse 3]
Look what we had to go through
Gathering our arts
Gathering our music
Incorporating it into song
Us being rejected
They were saying, "That's not good enough
Not good enough"
[Chorus]
That's not art
That's not music
That's not good enough
Those are not good enough
It's too rotten
It's too rusty
Too dirty
It don't have no place
It's all burnt debris
It's crumbling apart
[Outro]
That's not art
That's not art
