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