Art is dead, art is dead
FADmBb
Art is dead, art is dead
Entertainers like to seem complicated
But weʼre not complicated
I can explain it pretty easily
Have you ever been to a birthday party for children
And one of the children wonʼt stop screaming
Cause heʼs just a little attention attractor
When he grows up to be a comic or actor
Heʼll be rewarded for never maturing
For never understanding or learning
That every day canʼt be about him
Thereʼs other people you selfish asshole
I must be psychotic, I must be demented
To think that Iʼm worthy of all this attention
Of all of this money you worked hard for
I slept in late while you worked at the drug store
My drugʼs attention, I am an addict
But I get paid to indulge in my habit
Itʼs all an illusion, Iʼm wearing make-up
Iʼm wearing make-up, make-up, make-up, make-up
Art is dead, so people think youʼre funny
How Do you get those peopleʼs money?
Art is dead, weʼre rolling in money
While Carlin rolls in his grave, in his grave, in his grave
Cause this show has got a budget
The show has got a budget
And all the poor people way more deserving
of the money wonʼt budget
Cause I wanted my name in lights
Well I could have fed a family of four
For forty fucking fortnights, forty fucking fortnights
I am an artist, please god forgive me
I am an artist, people donʼt revere me
I am an artist, please donʼt respect me
I am an artist, feel free to correct me
A self-centered artist, self-posessed artist
I am an artist, I am an artist
But Iʼm just a kid, Iʼm just a kid, kid
And maybe Iʼll grow out of it
