I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist.

We are the world. The world is you and me, the world is not separate from you and me. We have created this world - the world of violence, the world of wars, the world of religious divisions, sex, anxieties, the utter lack of communication with each other, with no sense of compassion, consideration for another. Wherever one goes in any country throughout the world, human beings, that is, you and another, suffer; we are anxious, we are uncertain, we don't know what is going to happen. Everything has become uncertain. Right through the world as human beings we are in sorrow, fear, anxiety, violence, uncertain of everything, insecure. There is a common relationship between us all. We are the world essentially, basically, fundamentally. The world is you, and you are the world. Realizing that fundamentally, deeply, not romantically, not intellectually but actually, then we see that our problem is a global problem. It is not my problem or your particular problem, it is a human problem.

Problems
Too many problems, oh why am I here?
I need to be me, cause youre all to clear
And I can see theres something wrong with you
Oh, what do you expect me to do?
At least I gotta know what I wanna be
Dont come to me if you need pity
Are you lonely, you got no-one
You got your body in suspension
Thats a problem, problem, problem
The problem is you
Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
You dont do what you want and you fade away
You work for me, youre working nine-to-five
Its too much fun of being alive
Im using my feet for my human machine
You work for me, living for the screen
Are you lonely, all needs catered
You got your brains dehydrated
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh what what you gonna do, problem, problem
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Well, what you gonna do with your problem
The problem is you, problem
I aint death trip, but I aint automatic
You work for me, just stay ecstatic
Dont you give me any orders
To people like me, there is no order
Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about
Bet you thought youd solved all your problems
But you are the problem
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh, what you gonna do with your problem?
Ill leave it up to you, oh problem
The problem is you, you got a problem
Oh what you gonna do?
They know a doctor, gonna take you away
Thay take you away and they throw away the key
They dont want you and they dont want me
You got a problem the problem is you
Problem, well, what you gonna do?
Problem, have you got a problem?
Problem, well you got a problem
Problem (x17)

The Assassin, the Artist, and the Dog
Walking across this dangerous land
In this magical but corrupted world
The assassin, the artist, and the dog travel
This world is unbalanced
It surely is a world in ruin
The assassin, the artist, and the dog travel
And they know
That to survive
They must fight
Whether they like it or not
The assassin has his dangerous swords
and sharpened throwing tools
The artist has her enchanted paintbrushes
and magical paints
The dog has his bark and bite
And that's good enough for him
Everything else is perfect for the rest of them
During the day
During the night
As they travel along
It's a world on the brink of madness
But the assassin, the artist, and the dog know
of that
They know of the choices and chances they'll
have to make and take
It's tough out there to survive
But they know what it will take
They know what the world is like
They know how the world is

Going ahead
What is the problem
And there is no problem.
You want to do
And the work done
You want to go
And you gone.
The problem is
There is no problem
The problem you created
Is not a problem.
It is your duty
To think yourself
What to do
And there is nothing
To do.
Who are you to do
And the problem is
You are going
A head to do.

An artist never works under ideal conditions. If they existed, his work wouldn't exist, for the artist doesn't live in a vacuum. Some sort of pressure must exist. The artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn't look for harmony but would simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world. This is the issue in Andrey Rubliov.

The most important precedents deal with the whole idea of symbolic programming - the notion of setting up symbolic expressions that can represent anything one wants, and then having functions that operate on both their structure and content.

How Do You Feel?
I dont know what to say, Im crying everyday
Im talking to you slowly, but you dont know what I mean
Get down with reality, heres my resume
You never ever knew me cause you never loved me
I-i-i Im looking for renewal
I-i-i wont forget about you
I-i-i many girls are on my mind
But the only problem is
That youre on my mind too
Tell me how you feel about us,
Dont you remember yesterday?
Chorus:
How do you feel, how do you feel,
How do you feel, how do you feel...
I dont know what to do, theres no one else but you
I know that Im in love but I dont know about you
Im messed up in my world, reality is blurred
I dont know how you feel,
Thats why Im messed up in this world
I-i-i Im looking for renewal
I-i-i wont forget about you
I-i-i many girls are on my mind
But the only problem is
That youre on my mind too
Tell me how you feel about us,
Dont you remember yesterday?
Chorus:
How do you feel, how do you feel,
How do you feel, how do you feel...
Tell me how you feel about us,
Dont you remember yesterday?
Im not scared of your tomorrow,
(how do you feel? )
I just think about today
(how do you feel? )
Im not crying out for yesterday
(how do you feel? )
Just tell me now exactly how you feel...
Chorus:
How do you feel, how do you feel,
How do you feel, how do you feel...

The Artist
The Artist and his Luckless Wife
They lead a horrid haunted life,
Surrounded by the things he's made
That are not wanted by the trade.
The world is very fair to see;
The Artist will not let it be;
He fiddles with the works of God,
And makes them look uncommon odd.
The Artist is an awful man,
He does not do the things he can;
He does the things he cannot do,
And we attend the private view.
The Artist uses honest paint
To represent things as they ain't,
He then asks money for the time
It took to perpetrate the crime.

We’re creators by permission, by grace as it were. No one creates alone, of and by himself. An artist is an instrument that registers something already existent, something which belongs to the whole world, and which, if he is an artist, he is compelled to give back to the world.

10,000 Years
The world is burning down
Can't you smell the smoke in the air?
War, disease and famine
This demon, she is everywhere
Poets and preachers and politicians
They've all had their say
And we've got 10,000 years
Devoted to nothing
But tommorow and yesterday
If all of the ignorance in the world
Passed a second ago
What would you say?
Who would you obey?
I am here to say that
Peace is now
Mr. President?
I hereby pardon you of all your crimes
For they are just as much mine
Selfishness and seperation have led me
To believe that the world is not my problem
The world is not my problem
I am the world
And you are the world
Peace is now

We all know we have a problem, a broad problem. Ninety-eight percent of the fuel that is used by our vehicles, our autos and trucks for personal and commercial purposes, for highway and air travel operates on oil. The world has the same problem.

A Nude Artist
A Nude Artist
he says he is a nude artist
because he is naked when he paints
such nakedness has
nothing to do with being a nude artist
a naked artist who paints a cat or a chicken
is not a nude artist
there is no nude cat
thyere is no nude chicken
just paint a naked woman
and he will be called a nude artist
an artist is not an art
he must know that

Whos Sorry Now
You can feel the bodies aching
You can feel the spirit waisting
But its someone elses children
And its someone elses problem in the end
You just go about your business
Youve got bigger fish frying
Someday you might be a witness
Someday you may wake up crying like I cry
Whats the problem?
Theres no problem in your own little world
Whats the bother?
Cant be bothered
til your own little world goes to hell,
Then you can tell
We are all in this together
We are all in this together
We got to pull together
And we cant worry whos sorry now
Whos sorry now,
Now that everything is clear
Whos sorry now,
Sorrow unspoken here
Please take a bow
You got so many distractions
You got old friends to satisfy
Youre afraid of the reaction
If the others should find out, youd falsify
Maybe this could never happen
Maybe God is on your side
Tell yourself what I tell myself
That its justice when somebody else must die
Its a hard life
Such a hard life, its a hard little world
Some are winners, some are losers
Here in our little world
But youd sell out, beg, borrow, steal,
Move mountains, if it was your own
It was your own
When its your own pretty baby
Theres no method in the madness
We all cant escape the sadness
Dont surround your heart with hardness
You may someday need someone to sympathize
Before youre crushed by your own selfishness
You must confess
Are you feeling sorry?
Sorrow spoken here
Whos sorry now

Who Am I?
The problem with what I think is that what I think
keeps changing so I don't know what I think permanently.
The problem with what I feel is that I have many different feelings,
many times hundreds in a given day; many contradictory.
Trying to create order from this chaos I decide that there is only one thing
I believe
and decide
to have one opinion or one philosophy;
but the world intervenes and forces me to look at things again.
If I refuse then I look like I am stubborn, rigid and some kind of kook
who thinks what he thinks and never changes.
The problem with what I think is that the world constantly intervenes
and changes who I am and, therefore, what I think today or this year,
leaving me with the choice then between being the cork on the sea
or the stubborn fool;
leaving me being neither the Rock of Gibraltar
nor the Wise Seer
so I sit here
and lament myself
and have another beer
as the world washes over me
but at last in desperation
I start to secretly collect
ideas and friends
which reinforce
who I thought I was
last year-
admittedly
a poor remedy-
but at least one that comes
with a tall beer.
