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 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? I said, art is dead, we're rolling in dough While Carlin rolls in his grave, in his grave, in his grave
Cause 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 budget 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
