Great Artists Have No Countries?, Ver. 1 (Acoustic) Lyrics

“Great artists have no countries” (?)

They share with Superman a piece of land in the sky

“Great artists have no countries” (?)

As oppsed, I guess, to politicians and preachers

Great artists have no Shanti

No make-up either

And you can’t tell what’s the art today

The music itself or the selling of it

And you can’t tell what’s the art today

The music itself or the selling of it

“Great artists have no countries” (?)

Or so it seems when they’re British or Americans

Because when others claim international success

They seem to be carring everywhere their place of birth

Like a big hump on their back that just gets heavier

“Great artists have no countries” (?)

Or so it seems when they’re British or Americans

“Great artists have no countries” (?)

Or a rather good excuse to avoid tax

Great artists have no party

No slogans either

And you can’t tell what’s the art today

The music itself or the bloffing of it

And you can’t tell what’s the art today

The music itself or the bloffing of it

“Great artists have no countries”

I once believed in this slogan

I once truly believed it is true
