Bill Nelson's Red Noise - Art/Empire/Industry lyrics

Paintings are subversive Freedom is machines All print is propaganda We know what it means to sing Art/Empire/Industry Art/Empire/Industry Art/Empire/Industry History is heresy Ignorance is bliss Workers of the future You know what it is to sing Art/Empire/Industry Art/Empire/Industry Art/Empire/Industry Speed and machines are the art of our empire The new laws of gravity must be obeyed Our lives are a model of planned obsolescence Our great engineers are the priests of the age Colour is disruption Uniforms are grey Leaders of the new age You know what it means to say Art/Empire/Industry Art/Empire/Industry Art/Empire/Industry Ecstasy is treachery Pa**ion is a crime Mothers of tomorrow You know what it is to cry Art/Empire/Industry Art/Empire/Industry Art/Empire/Industry
