lyrics-once again sorry about the cursing, i blocked it out

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 -BLEEP-


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 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, so 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 ***** fortnights, forty ****** 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, kid

And maybe I'll grow out of it

  1. Very interesting Christina. I hadn't heard this song before. It definitely reminds me of "Hook" by Blues Traveler...and of "Airplane" too. Thanks for sharing!

    By the way... if you guys truly believe our society is "messed up," then feel empowered to fix it! You guys will be in control of the world very soon!
