Everybody in the art world knows
The art police are always on patrol
Their greatest pleasure is to bring on shame
They love to catch you in your mistakes

The eyes you drew are too far apart?
(That’s ten years in jail)
Bad anatomy?
(You’re not getting bail)

If you hear the squeal of wheels
And sirens blaring loud
You better crinkle up your drawings
And throw them out
‘Cause…

Here come the art police
Straight to the scene of the crime
If they had their way, we’d all be doing time

Singin’
Wee-hoo-wee-hoo-wee-hoo
They’re coming for you
Wee-hoo-wee-hoo-wee-hoo
They’re coming for you

There isn’t much that you can do
Once the art police have it in for you
Suddenly you may receive an unexpected knock at your door…

(Art Police! Open up!)

The tiniest of errors, but still it’s enough
For the art police to put your hands in cuffs
They don’t care a bit that you tried your best
Better plead the fifth, ‘cause you’re under arrest

Your shading doesn’t make any sense?
(A sentence for life)
Messed up perspective?
(A million in fines)

If you hear the squeal of wheels
And sirens blaring loud
You better crinkle up your drawings
And throw them out
‘Cause…

Here come the art police
Straight to the scene of the crime
If they had their way, we’d all be doing time

Singin’
Wee-hoo-wee-hoo-wee-hoo
They’re coming for you
Wee-hoo-wee-hoo-wee-hoo
They’re coming for you

Here come the art police
Straight to the scene of the crime
If they had their way, we’d all be doing time

Here come the art police
Straight to the scene of the crime
If they had their way, we’d all be doing time
