Hegemon

Professor says art's something
Backpacking through Europe
Got to follow it to meet it
Somewhere, there's a grad student
With a backpack and a fanny-pack full of euros
They followed that train
Because it looked like art in that window

It's just a window

It is a window!

It is anything
Art

Somewhere, a mother cries
A son hit by a train
A grad student laughs and hops on
Pays the ticket with too large a bill

The earth is round
Unless you were lied to
Led to believe a circle is a square
Call it a square
Call your girlfriend
Call it the earth
You're both right
You're both wrong!

Believe me
My institution backpacked all through the Swiss-Franc border
We found some cattle
Art!?
That's not art!
We know,
Art wasn't there

I know a kid named Art
I wonder if he's ever been to Europe
What a wonderful following he'd gather
