Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, news, etc. In Pop art, material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, and/or combined with unrelated material. The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it.
Pop art employs aspects of mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects. It is widely interpreted as a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of abstract expressionism, as well as an expansion upon them. And due to its utilization of found objects and images it is similar to Dada. Pop art is aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any given culture, most often through the use of irony. It is also associated with the artists' use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques.
If all men are evil
And all the girls are good
There are bad men in the dead trees
And a girl in the wood
All the little children when you catch him
Open up his soul
Drop a going back to the womb pill
And cover up the hole
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
Take out the big shovel
And wade it through the earth
This man's so old with evil
He should have been put down at birth
But the people can't decide
Whether to laugh or cry
I say hang him on the tv, don't give a blind fuck
This man deserves to die
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
If all men are evil
Then all girls are good
There's bad language in the trees
Something dirty in the wood
All the little children when you catch him
Open up his soul
Drop a going back to the womb pill
And cover up the hole
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
