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
Welcome to the continued exploration of British Literature as the class explores the 18th century through the Modern Period of British literary history.

Art is Dead- Bo Burnham
Okay so I found this song that tooottallly relates to how like our world is like messed up or whatever we were talking about kind of like using sattire and stuff. It's a good example I think HOWEVER....
there is a bit of profanity in it, soooo yeah not trying to promote that hopefully i dont get in trouble lol but i think im just gonna post the lyrics up and block out the curse words.

hmmm...
so about this whole project thingy....yeah idk.
i can't really decided weather or not to do it, i mean i guess i will but i'm kinda nervous because i could either keep the kinda crappy grade i have, make it better orrrrr, make it worse with this project. cuz if i do it, that means i have to do it good or itll just make my grade worse. maybe it would have been better if the whole thing were just extra credit! ..
im jealous of all you people in warm weather.

Gullivers Travles
Ok so I remember talking in class about how Gullivers Travles may have been a childrens story, and in the book I am reading; Jane Erye it mentions Gullivers Travles as one of the books she read as, guess what.... a child!! lol so I believe that it realy was concidered a childrens book of that time!! Just an intresting tid bit there. There is also a childrens movie coming out with the name wait for it.... Gullivers Travles!!! Although I am not certian it is using the "origional" Gullivers Travles but I am assuming they are because in the trailer there was little men!! Brit Lit your everywhere, leave me alone!!!!! ......... just for break please????
Even more Appreciative
Well now that spring break is in full swing, I'm even more grateful that the satire project is optional. I thought it would be fun to do anyways but the idea of getting out school work just doesn't seem to fit into my busy schedule. Busy being doing absolutly nothing of course. Perhaps I will feel the urge to write up a project but in the mean time I'll keep doing nothing until I'm forced back to the books!
