Is This Art lyrics

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
Isn`t nature wonderful
But is this art?

They took me to the hospital
And pulled aside the sheet
Said, `look at that pulsating
Just listen to the beat.`
Showed me the incision
Then took away my heart
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.`
Showed me what it did to mice
And this is just the start
Isn`t nature wonderful
But is this art?

Took me to the tenemenet
Kicked down the door
Said `Have you seen the copulation
Practiced by the poor?`
We select the ones to breed
Then we reject the part
Isn`t nature wonderful
But is this art?
