Текст песни Is This Art (The Levellers) с переводом

They took me to the battlefield

Saw the mushroom clouds

Said 'I can see the colours

Even when my head is bowed'

And they showed me the destruction

The slaughter a la carte

And 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'

And they showed me the incision

Then took away the heart

And isn’t nature wonderful

But is this art?

They took me to the scientist

Who opened up a phial

He said 'This is only chicken pox

And rhino bile'

And they showed me what it did to mice

They said 'This is just the start'

And isn’t nature wonderful

But is this art?

They took me to the tenement

And kicked down the door

They said:'Have you seen the copulation

Practised by the poor

We select the ones to breed

Then we reject the part'

And isn’t nature wonderful

But is this art?
