Art is dead, art is dead 
Bb                  D                     Gm 
Entertainers like to seem complicated 
       Eb                      Bb 
But we're not complicated 
           D                      Gm  
I can explain it pretty easily 
                   Eb                  Bb                          D  
Have you ever been to a birthday party for children 
                            Gm                        Eb 
And one of the children won't stop screaming 
                              Bb                    D

When he grows up to be a comic or actor

There's other people you selfish asshole

                             Gm                     Eb 
To think that I'm worthy of all this attention 
  
                      Bb                                    D

My drug's attention, I am an addict 
                Gm                           Eb 
but I get paid to indulge in my habit 
                  Bb                           D 
It's all an illusion, I'm wearing make-up 
                    Gm                           Eb

And all the poor people way more deserving of the money won't budge it 
               Bb                            D                   Gm                        Eb 
Cause I wanted my name in lights. when I could have fed a family of four 
         Bb                D              Gm                Eb 
For forty fucking fortnights, forty fucking fortnights 
    Bb                                      D 
I am an artist, please god forgive me 
    Gm                                    Eb 
I am an artist, please don't revere me

I am an artist, please don't respect me 
    Gm                                  Eb 
I am an artist, feel free to correct me 
       Bb                       D 
A self-centered artist, self-obsessed artist 
   Gm                 Eb 
I am an artist, I am an artist 
                       Bb                 D               Gm 
But I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, im just a kid, kid 
        Eb                                  Bb
