Wah Wow (But Is It Art?)

A video for the song by Pygmy Beat about Coffee Table photography & the potential for some to consider poverty a cash cow. Constructed from Google Image search results & Windows Movie maker.
WAH WOW
Bermna/Cochrane
(But is it Art?)
Life becomes a portrait
Feel no passion, feel no pain
Sell the image of a victim
Staring blankly from a frame
Steal the souls of nameless children
From terraced back-street slums
Let the vultures land near babies
Steal the moment, then just run

Just what is it that the pictures try to say?
Will they make a difference at the ending of the day?
You can cover gallery walls with your visual skill
As you suck your subjects dry will you ever get your fill?

So, catalogue new anguish
Change your subjects every year
Theres no romance in someones hunger
No romance in catching fear
Thats etched on haunted faces
Or waifs with wide-starved eyes
To bolster reputations
And carry off the prize

Just what is it that the pictures try to say?
Will they make a difference at the ending of the day?
You can cover gallery walls with your visual skill
As you suck your subjects dry will you ever get your fill?

Life becomes a portrait
Feel no passion, feel no pain
Steal the souls of nameless children
From a terraced slumlords lane
Catalogue new anguish
Change your subjects every year
Theres no romance in someones hunger
Win those prizes catching fear

Let the vultures land near babies
Steal the moment, then just run
Feel no passion, feel no pain
