[ar:Bo Burnham]
[ti:ART IS DEAD]
[00:16.68] Art is dead
[00:19.53] Art is dead
[00:22.44] Art is dead
[00:25.28] Art is dead
[00:27.59] Entertainers like to seem complicated
[00:31.35] But we're not complicated
[00:33.81] I can explain it pretty easily
[00:37.02] Have you ever been to a birthday party for children
[00:40.68] And one of the children won't stop screaming
[00:43.49] Cause he's just a little attention attractor
[00:46.30] When he grows up to be a comic or actor
[00:49.25] He'll be rewarded for never maturing
[00:52.16] For never understanding or learning
[00:54.82] That every day can't be about him
[00:57.78] There's other people you selfish asshole
[01:00.59] I must be psychotic
[01:01.54] I must be demented
[01:03.34] To think that I'm worthy of all this attention
[01:06.24] Of all of this money you worked really hard for
[01:09.15] I slept in late while you worked at the drug store
[01:12.15] My drug's attention
[01:13.29] I am an addict
[01:15.00] But I get paid to indulge in my habit
[01:17.55] It's all an illusion
[01:18.82] I'm wearing make-up
[01:20.32] I'm wearing make-up
[01:21.37] make-up
[01:22.13] make-up
[01:23.03] make-up
[01:25.03] Art is dead
[01:26.84] some people think you're funny
[01:28.19] How do you get those people's money
[01:29.90] I said art is dead
[01:32.36] we're rolling in dough
[01:33.56] While Carlin rolls in his grave
[01:36.27] in his grave
[01:37.82] in his grave
[01:40.88] Cause this show has got a budget
[01:43.49] The show has got a budget
[01:46.34] And all the poor people way more deserving
[01:48.95] Of the money won't budget
[01:51.66] Cause I wanted my name in lights
[01:53.98] When I could have fed a family of four
[01:57.19] For forty ****ing fortnights
[01:59.70] forty ****ing fortnights
[02:02.45] I am an artist
[02:03.50] please god forgive me
[02:04.76] I am an artist
[02:06.06] please don't revere me
[02:07.42] I am an artist
[02:08.67] please don't respect me
[02:10.07] I am an artist
[02:11.33] feel free to correct me
[02:12.98] A self-centered artist
[02:14.28] self-obsessed artist
[02:15.56] I am an artist
[02:16.96] I am an artist
[02:18.36] But I'm just a kid
[02:19.82] I'm just a kid
[02:21.07] I'm just a kid kid
[02:23.08] And maybe I'll grow out of it
