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 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 Art is dead some people think you're funny How do you get those people's money I said art is dead we're rolling in dough 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 won't budget Cause I wanted my name in lights When I could have fed a family of four For forty ****ing fortnights forty ****ing 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
