Art Guard - Fishboy

Stop right where you are move ten feet back

Away from the wall where the painting’s at

I’m not here to explain what the artist felt

Oh, I can’t and I won’t and I never will

The museum of modern art

I watch like a hawk protecting priceless

Pieces brought to you in part

By countless small donations from

Countless small vacations

I’m an art guard

I’m an art guard

I’m an art guard

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

Art all around me as I stand

A 12-hour shift at 9 AM

And it all begins to look the same

Perhaps I’ll understand one day

I finally see it clear

The beauty in an abstract painting

As my world it disappears

A toddler in a stroller

Destroys a priceless sculpture

I’m an art guard

I’m an art guard

I’m an art guard

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

I’m an art guard

I’m an art guard

I’m an art guard

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

(I guard the art)

Stop right where you are move ten feet back

(I guard the art)

Away from the wall where the painting’s at

(I guard the art)

I’m not here to explain what the artist felt

(I guard the art)

Oh, I can’t and I won’t and I never will
