Song information On this page you can find the lyrics of the song Trouble with Classicists, artist - Lou Reed. Album song The Sire Years: Complete Albums Box, in the genre АльтернативаTrouble with Classicists |
| The trouble with a classicist he looks at a tree |
| That’s all he sees, he paints a tree |
| The trouble with a classicist he looks at the sky |
| He doesn’t ask why, he just paints a sky |
| The trouble with an impressionist, he looks at a log |
| And he doesn’t know who he is, standing, staring, at this log |
| And surrealist memories are too amorphous and proud |
| While those downtown macho painters are just alcoholic |
| The trouble with impressionist is The trouble with personalities, they’re too wrapped up in style |
| It’s too personal, they’re in love with their own guile |
| They’re like illegal aliens trying to make a buck |
| They’re driving gypsy cabs but they’re thinking like a truck |
| The trouble with personalities is I like the druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains |
| I like their lack of training, their primitive technique |
| I think sometimes it hurts you when you stay too long in school |
| I think sometimes it hurts you when you’re afraid to be called a fool |
| The trouble with classicists is |
