This was originally written and recorded as a songfight entry around 2005. It didn’t get past demo form and wasn’t submitted.

I played around with it on acoustic guitar for over a decade until Mitch Stevens came over to record and I pulled it out after we recorded a jam and were looking for something.

I believe at one point, I had added the bridge well prior to this session. We played the song through on guitars several times. Mitch played rhythm guitar and I fleshed this one out over the next day or so. This version appears on my album Neon Youth Symphonies.

Let's drop an art bomb
On this whole wide world
Let's drop an art bomb
On this  crazy, crazy old world

We'll fill it with color
We'll fill it with songs
Stop painting by numbers
Of people now gone

Let's drop an art bomb
On this whole wide world
Let's drop an art bomb
On this  crazy, crazy old world

We'll fly over London
Watch Russia go boom
Mexico's gonna love it
And America too -- yeah!

Let's drop an art bomb
On this whole wide world
Let's drop an art bomb
On this  crazy, crazy old world

We're blowing up the Internet
A million views on Youtube get
Your mom is gonna be proud
'Cos all the talking heads will say
There was no war on earth today
While art bombs cover your town

Let's drop an art bomb
On this whole wide world
Let's drop an art bomb
On this  crazy, crazy old world

Let's drop an art bomb
On this whole wide world
Let's drop an art bomb
On this  crazy, crazy old world
