Lyrics Trouble With Classicists - Lou Reed , John Cale
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
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
There's
a
trouble
with
impressionist
There's
a
trouble
with
impressionist
There′s
a
trouble
with
impressionist
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
There′s
a
trouble
with
personalities
There's
a
trouble
with
personalities
There's
a
trouble
with
personalities
There′s
a
trouble
with
personalities
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
There's
a
trouble
with
classicists
There′s
a
trouble
with
classicists
There's
a
trouble
with
classicists
There′s
a
trouble
with
classicists
