Alix Olson - Built like that lyrics

rate me

some art’s just like a teacup,

when you’re looking for a beer

some art, some art, it scares you and some,

some art’s about the fear.

some art is a highbrow thing

some art’s about the eyebrow ring

some art’s about the tattoo

some art’s about the artist

and that art’s not meant for you:

but my art’s not made like that

my art’s not meant for that

no, my art’s not built like that

my art’s not dressed for that.

some art’s ecclesiastes,

some art’s about the sin

some art it seems just heavenly

and that’s great if it lets you in.

some art’s all multi-colored til it goes behind the scene

it comes out all multi-corporate

then it only comes in green:

but my art’s not made like that

my art’s not meant for that

my art’s not built like that

my art’s not dressed for that.

some art’s a one-hit wonder why

they think we’re deaf and dumb

it’s like the disciples at the last supper

if God fed ‘em bubble gum.

some art’s a pedigree whitewash,

a cryptic clean cover-up

my art don’t need no ivory badge to back up

what’s in its gut:

my art’s not made like that

my art’s not meant for that

no, my art’s not built like that

my art’s not dressed for that.

some art don’t care about you,

what you say or what you do

my art’s the Mona Lisa

and she’s looking straight at you.

my art wears the same clothes seven days a week

cause my art don’t seem to care about

what other people think.

some art’s real nice to look at,

some art’s all neat and clean

my art forgot her tampon

and she’s bleeding through her jeans.

my art forgot her tampon

and she’s bleeding through her jeans

yeah, my art don’t need no tampon

she’ll just bleed through your dreams:

my art’s just made like that

my art’s just meant for that

my art’s just built like that

yeah, my art’s just dressed for that

my art’s just made like that

my art’s just meant for that

my art’s just built like that

my heart’s just

built like that.
