[G#] Art is dead
[C#m] [A] Art is [E] dead
[G#] Entertainers like to seem [C#m] complicated

I can [G#] explain it [C#m] pretty easily
[A] Have you [B] ever been [E] to a birthday [G#] party for children and [C#m] one of the children won't [A] stop screaming
Cuz [E] he's just a little [G#] attention attractor when [C#m] he grows up to be a [A] comic or [B] actor
He'll [E] be rewarded for [G#] never maturing for [C#m] never
[A] Understanding or [B] learning that [E] every day [G#] can't be about him.
There's [C#m] other people you [A] selfish asshole
[E] Must be psychotic and [G#] must be demented think [C#m] that I'm worthy all [A] this [B] attention
Of [E] all of this money [G#] worked really hard for [C#m] I slept in late while you [A] worked at the [B] drugstore [E] my drug detention

I'm wearing [G#] makeup.
[C#m] I'm wearing makeup [A] makeup makeup
[E] Art [G#] is a [C#m] dead so people think you're [A] funny

[E] And all the poor [G#] people way more deserving [C#] of the money [A] won't [B] budge it [E] cuz I wanted my name [G#] in light
[C#m] When I could have fed a [A] family of [B] four [E] for 40 fucking [G#] [C#m] fortnight's
