Creative accounts You've got to 'get creative' If you work in culture now You're hoping for that beanstalk You've already sold the cow Those golden eggs are wooden There's no cash under the bed There's the sound of constant sobbing And the finance team have fled. You've got to 'get creative' It's the soft power thing to do. But the council can't afford that There's no wealth* in what you do Music, Arts, and Culture It's not like people care Until they look up and realise That it's just no longer there.
You've got to 'get creative' Who wants old stuff anyway? Who cares about well-being? Who would want to see a play? It's not as if your industry Drives tourism and spend? Let's get ahead and trash it now. Leave nothing to defend. *there clearly is but its not valued in an appropriate and comparative way by successive decision makers, is all.
Inspired by the article in the Guardian today.
