Earth Without Art

I'm holding on as well as anyone could when life deprives them of everything good I'm now a shadow of where I once stood and the sunset is all I see To have a dream is to have true love's flame and when it dies, you know, it hurts just the same It would be easier to have someone to blame, even if it was me But it's just the world we live in. That's just the way it goes It can be unforgivin' like a thorn on a rose And I am used to taking what anything throws But not my trade's demise. After all, what is the Louvre without St. John or Mona Lisa Imagine it with blank and empty walls A multitude of strangers wouldn't gather in the lobbies if silence is what met them in the halls To take away the arts would be to take away our purpose For some of us, it's why we're still alive The future of our business sees how poorly we are floating and now they'll be too scared to take the dive A month ago, not one of us could ever see this ending and now we've no idea where to start But we have an obligation to this planet we call home 'cause what is Earth without art It shouldn't be this easy to get studio time These players shouldn't settle for nickels and dimes But right now, there's not a contract that we would decline and something has got to give So many artists called it quits today So many voices that had so much to say It's such a burden, living to play when we can't play to live I feel the final payoff on which our eyes are glued is sure to face extinction and then we are screwed 'Cause we can choose fulfillment or we can choose food To live or just survive After all, what if this virus had affected Mr. Lennon Imagine if "Imagine" never was Thank god he taught the world a bit of peace with that piano We never would have listened just because To take away the arts would be to take away our purpose For some of us, it's why we're still alive The future of our business sees how poorly we are floating and now they'll be too scared to take the dive A month ago, not one of us could ever see this ending and now we've no idea where to start But we have an obligation to this planet we call home 'cause what is Earth without art We have an obligation to this planet we call home 'cause what is Earth without art
