Lyrics
Art is dead Art is dead Art is dead Art is dead Entertainers like to seem complicated But we're not complicated I can explain it pretty easily Have you ever been to a birthday party for children? And one of the children won't stop screaming? 'Cause he's just a little attention-attractor When he grows up to be a comic or actor He'll be rewarded for never maturing For never understanding or learning That every day can't be about him "There's other people, you selfish a**hole!" I must be psychotic, I must be demented To think that I'm worthy of all this attention Of all of this money you worked really hard for I slept in late while you worked at the drug store My drug's attention, I am an addict But I get paid to indulge in my habit It's all an illusion, I'm wearing makeup I'm wearing makeup, makeup, makeup Art is dead So, people think you're funny How do we get those people's money? I said, art is dead We're rolling in dough while Carlin rolls in his grave His grave His grave The show has got a budget The show has got a budget And all the poor people way more deserving Of the money won't budge it 'Cause I wanted my name in lights When I could have fed a family of four For forty f**king fortnights Forty f**king fortnights I am an artist; please, God, forgive me I am an artist; please, don't revere me I am an artist; please, don't respect me I am an artist; feel free to correct me A self-centered artist, self-obsessed artist I am an artist, I am an artist But I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid I'm just a kid, kid And maybe I'll grow out of it
