THE GREATEST SINCE REMBRANDT

I am the greatest since Rembrandt
I paint deep into the profound existence of Man
A dab here, a stroke there
And the money just flows into my hand

I dwell on the plains of higher intellect
On the walls of wealth and taste, I'm on display
For those without some cultural substance
I’m afraid I just don't know what to say

It’s a symphony of shapes
If you can’t see them, you’re blind
It’s a harmony of colours
I used all the ones I could find

I fan the flames of finer feeling
Pure emotion from pure human heart
Don’t think, don’t reason with it
That’s such a primitive way to view art

It’s a masterpiece of mayhem
Freed from structure and form
It’s defiance of all logic
This is how genius is born

I am a master of the psyche
Manipulating human souls, it’s easy stuff
A blob, a smear, a play on fear
And no one dares to call my bluff

I am the greatest since Rembrandt

It’s a work of art
Uninhibited, uncontrived
It’s a gift from the gods on high
The greatest since Rembrandt has arrived
