she was bright
she knew what she should do
control her own creations
but the time she lived in had no favours
for the women not in need of saviours
so, one day,
she had this wild idea
it was a piece
that starts a conversation
and this fountain watered the perception
of the value of a mere conception
who, nobody knows for sure, she
gave this work a male signature, and
for as long as she was alive she was
fighting uphill battles
men, they owned the world
and she just lived there
thus/so if a woman had made this piece of art
then it wouldn’t be recognized
no – ooh ooh,
ooh ooh
This fountain was worth many millions and
the artworld could not stop its whispers
now when people talk about it,
they will give Duchamp full credit
art – ooh ooh
ooh ooh
(She was) Poor without offspring
he could claim her work
of art
ooh ooh
ooh ooh
of art
ooh oooh
oooohoohoo whoooooo-hoooo
oooohoohoo whoooooo-oo-oo-oo (choir)
