Who(m) do you trust?

Who do you trust

a mountain or a museum?

Who do you trust?
Which one do you trust?

Museums are made by people, for a start 

And people are the ones who fill it up with art
That people have made to try to touch your heart

Or to touch your mind, your eye or touch some other part

No, culture’s just a weapon to tell us how to feel

It’s about control and not some big, lofty ideal

Of course that is the very thing the artist-types conceal

And instead they rely on artistic snob appeal

Who do you trust

a mountain or a museum?

Who do you trust?

Which one do you trust?

Now a mountain’s never going to try to tell you what to do 

A mountain will not preach about the value of virtue

But if you look and listen closely, then I’m sure that you

Will find that you can trust a mountain, a mountain’s always true

It’s a true a mountain’s true, a mountain’s never lied

But a mountain doesn’t care if we live or died

Though not every artwork may serve as a guide

Art connects us to the mountain that we have inside

So who do you trust

a mountain or a museum?

Who do you trust?
Which one do you trust?

Kind of a companion piece to "Mt. Holyoke." I imagine it with a Mike Nesmith finger-pickin' background
