Art in America - Brett & Hibby

Copied!

Brett was winner
Hibby was thinner
And he had to keep moving all the time
He'd lived a long life
His number two wife
She hide to keep
Nagging
You're much to old dear
For this behavior
Won't you sit down for awhile

So he got him a new love
A much younger model
Didn't give any thought to the old one at all
Hibby called him one morning
Dear
How are you doing
So he wrote her a letter
He was improving
He'd never stop moving
Full of the fire
Of life

So
No one likеs to be told
What to do
And Hibby says you wasted
Your time
You wastеd all your precious
Time
No
No one likes to lay about
All the time you wasted your time wasted
Your time
You wasted all your precious
Time
And so

You know I hate these long goodbyes
Bye bye bye bye
You know I hate these long goodbyes
Bye bye bye bye
It's just my life, It's just my life
It's just one long, goodbye

So
No one likes to be told
What to do
And Hibby says you wasted
Your time
You wasted all your precious
Time

No
No one likes to lay about
All the time you wasted your time wasted
Your time
You wasted all your precious
Time
You wasted time
You wasted time
Look at Brett & Hibby
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
Poor Brett & Hibby
Oh
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
Look at Brett & Hibby
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
Look at Brett & Hibby
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time

Song Description

edit description

"Art in America" by Brett & Hibby is a reflective and poignant song that tells the story of Brett and Hibby, two individuals who are at different stages in their lives. Brett, the winner, is described as someone who is always on the move, while Hibby, the thinner one, is urged by his wife to slow down and settle down. However, Hibby decides to pursue a new love, a younger model, without looking back at his old life. The song explores themes of aging, regret, and the passage of time.

The chorus emphasizes the idea of not wasting time and the consequences of doing so, as Hibby reflects on his choices and the impact they have had on his life. The repetition of "No one likes to be told what to do" reinforces the message of living life on your own terms and not letting others dictate your actions.

The song ends with a plea to the listener to learn from the mistakes of Brett and Hibby and not waste their own precious time. The haunting refrain of "Don't waste your time" serves as a reminder to make the most of every moment and not let life pass by without making meaningful connections and choices. "Art in America" is a thought-provoking and introspective track that encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and the importance of cherishing every moment.
