F A Dm Bb
 
Verse 1:
 
F A Dm BbArt is dead, art is dead
F A Dm BbArt is dead, art is dead
F A Dm Bb FEntertainers like to seem complicated, but we're not complicated
A Dm BbI can explain it pretty easily: have you ever been to a
F A Dm BbBirthday party for children? and one of the children won't stop screaming
F A Dm BbCause he's just a little attention attractor and when he grows up to be a comic or actor,
F A Dm BbHe'll be rewarded for never maturing for never understanding or learning
F A Dm BbThat every day can't be about him there's other people you selfish asshole!
 
 
Verse 2:
 
F A Dm BbI must be psychotic, I must be demented, to think that I'm worthy of all this attention,
F A Dm BbOf all of this money you worked really hard for, I slept in late while you worked at the drug store
F A Dm BbMy drug's attention, I Am an addict, but I get paid to indulge in my habit
F A Dm BbIt's all an illusion, I'm wearing make-up, I'm wearing make-up, make-up, make-up, make-up
 
 
Verse 3:
 
F A Dm BbArt is dead, so people think you're funny, how Do you get those people's money?
F A Dm BbArt is dead, we're rolling in dough while Carlin rolls in his
F A Dm BbGrave, in his grave, in his grave....
F A Dm BbThis show has got a budget, the show has got a budget
F A Dm BbAnd all the poor people way more deserving of the money won't budge it
F A Dm BbCause I wanted my name in lights. when I could have fed a family of four
F A Dm BbFor forty fucking fortnights, forty fucking fortnights!
 
 
Verse 4:
 
F A Dm BbI Am an artist, please god forgive me, I Am an artist, please don't revere me
F A Dm BbI Am an artist, please don't respect me, I Am an artist, feel free to correct me
F A Dm BbA self-centered artist, self-obsessed artist, I Am an artist, I Am an artist!
F A Dm BbBut I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, kid, and maybe I'll grow out of it....
