Is This Art? Songtext / Lyric

They took me to the battlefield
Saw the mushroom clouds
Said ?I can see the colours
Even when my head is bowed?
They showed me the destruction
The slaughter a la carte
And isn?t nature wonderful
But is this art?

They took me to the hospital
And pulled aside the sheet
Said ?Look at the pulsating
Just listen to the beat?
They showed me the incision
The took away the heart
And isn?t nature wonderful
But is this art?

They took me to the scientist
Opened up a phial
Said ?this is only chickenpox
And rhino bile?
They showed me what it did to mice
And this is just the start
And isn?t nature wonderful
But is this art?

They took me to the tenement
Kicked down the door
Said ?have you seen the copulation
Practised by the poor
We select the ones to breed
Then we reject the part?
And isn?t nature wonderful
But is this art?
