Renaissance Song

Verse 1:
The Medici were a powerful family,
Until Cosimo got accused of heresy.
Maybe this was the end of their legacy.
There was a feud between them and the Albizzi.
So many twist in life that it makes you dizzy.
Bribe the guards to let him out,
Then chilled inside his house.
Influencing art,
Lorenzo de Medici was the start.

Chorus:
This was a time that was all about art.
It was expensive, cost more than a car.
The music played was harmonious.
If you don't know who played it, then it's anonymous.
The Dark Ages are finally gone.
Now lets all have some fun.
Let's have some fun before we're done.

Verse 2:
Michelangelo adopted by Lorenzo.
Was he famous? I guess so.
He went from David to Moses to the Sistine Chapel,
I don't think I can beat him at drawing an apple.
Brunelleschi built the dome.
A dome that people could watch all the way from their home.
The Florence Cathedral is where it's at,
For proof you can look it up on Google Maps.

Chorus:
This was a time that was all about art.
It was expensive, cost more than a car.

The music played was harmonious.
If you don't know who played it, then it's anonymous.

The Dark Ages are finally gone.
Now lets have all some fun.
Let's have some fun before we're done.

Verse 3:
Shakespeare was the guy that wrote the plays and poems.
Yeah I guess I know him.
Leonardo da Vinci was into anatomy.
Some of his notes were based on analogy.
His death was a catastrophe.
He found what the doctors see.
Like how we all go to pee.
And how we're able to gleek,
and how we're able to speak.

Chorus x2:

This was a time that was all about art.
It was expensive, cost more than a car.
The music played was harmonious.
If you don't know who played it, then it's anonymous.
The Dark Ages are finally gone.
Now lets all have some fun.
Let's have some fun before we're done.
