I prefure capo 3, but play with it. see what feels right Em C Art is dead, art is dead G D Art is dead, art is dead Em C Entertainers like to seem complicated G But we're not complicated D I can explain it pretty easily Em Have you ever been to a birthday party for children C And one of the children won't stop screaming G Cause he's just a little attention attractor D When he grows up to be a comic or actor Em He'll be rewarded for never maturing C For never understanding or learning G That every day can't be about him D There's other people you selfish asshole Em I must be psychotic, I must be demented C To think that I'm worthy of all this attention G Of all of this money you worked hard for D I slept in late while you worked at the drug store Em My drug's attention, I am an addict C But I get paid to indulge in my habit G It's all an illusion, I'm wearing make-up D I'm wearing make-up, make-up, make-up, make-up Em C Art is dead, so people think you're funny How do you get those people's money? Em C Art is dead, we're rolling in money Em C-G-D While Carlin rolls in his grave, in his grave Em this show has got a budget C The show has got a budget G D And all the poor people way more deserving of the money won't budget Em Cause I wanted my name in lights C When I could have fed a family of four G D For forty fucking fortnights, forty fucking fortnights Em I am an artist, please god forgive me C I am an artist, people don't revere me G I am an artist, please don't respect me D I am an artist, feel free to correct me Em A self-centered artist, self-obsessed artist C I am an artist, I am an artist G D But I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid Em And maybe I'll grow out of it
