[00:05.93]The trouble with a classicist he looks at a tree
[00:18.65]That's all he sees, he paints a tree
[00:22.45]The trouble with a classicist he looks at the sky
[00:25.95]He doesn't ask why, he just paints a sky
[00:29.94]The trouble with an impressionist, he looks at a log
[00:41.43]And he doesn't know who he is, standing, staring, at this log

[02:19.53]I like the druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains
[02:37.80]I like their lack of training, their primitive technique
[02:41.72]I think sometimes it hurts you when you stay too long in school
[02:45.15]I think sometimes it hurts you when you're afraid to be called a fool
