“In the courtroom, watch the balance of the scales
If the price is right, there's time for more appeals
The strings are pulled, the switch is stayed
The finest lawyers fees are paid
And a rich man never died upon the chair”

A work of art exists as itself; a chair exists as a chair itself. And the idea of a chair isn't a chair.
