art is dead

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 under-

standing or learning

that every day

can't be about him

there's other people

you selfish asshole

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 make-up

i'm wearing make-up

make-up

make-up

make-up

make. 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 fucking fortnights

forty fucking 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

you're 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
