Lyrics

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, so people think you're funny
how do you get those people's money?
art is dead, we're rolling in dough
while Carlin rolls in his grave, in his grave, in his grave.

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 budge it
cause i wanted my name in lights
when i could have fed a family of four
for forty fucking fortnights, forty fucking 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

The piano was all wrong, but you really pulled it off. Congratuwelldone.

@Blonguin I completely agree with you that she has no emotion, because, even if you're only doing a cover and KNOW that you can't do it as well as the original artist, you can still put your own emotion into it. That's what music is about.

[Blonguin]

@times6like9these Yeah that's one of the points, can't argue with that.

But "art is dead because those who have talent don't put emotion into what they do in regards to art," is not the case here. She learnt the song and probably practiced it a lot in order to pass on the message. Notice how many covers there are of this song, she's just another Bo's helper.

@Blonguin Actually, that IS what the song is about. He realizes that he's become something he doesn't really like. That's why when he plays it live he says "This song, actually, isn't funny at all, but it helps me sleep at night." He got so much attention at such a young age that it was ridiculous to him and he wants to try and figure it out. I saw him last year and he has gotten better about his ego, because a lot of his early jokes about being better were sort of his real thought.

Is it awkward playing piano in a chair like that? I move my arms a lot when I play. :D You seem so confined!

[Blonguin]

@TheUncutAngel No. No. The song isn't even about that. Shh.

[TRASHYgah]

Talented piano player, bad voice. sorry

[OriginalConner]

I have that same lamp in the backround
