I prefure capo 3, but play with it. see what feels right
EmArt is dead, Cart is dead
GArt is dead, Dart is dead
EmEntertainers like to seem compliCcated
But we're not compliGcated
I can explain it pretty Deasily
Have you ever been to a Embirthday party for children
And one of the Cchildren won't stop screaming
Cause he's just a Glittle attention attractor
When he grows Dup to be a comic or actor
He'll be rEmewarded for never maturing
For never Cunderstanding or learning
That every Gday can't be about him
There's other Dpeople you selfish asshole
I must be psycEmhotic, I must be demented
To think that I'm Cworthy of all this attention
Of all of this mGoney you worked really hard for
I slept in Dlate while you worked at the drug store
My drug's Emattention, I am an addict
But I get Cpaid to indulge in my habit
It's all an Gillusion, I'm wearing make-up
I'm wearing mDake-up, make-up, make-up, make-up 
EmArt is dead, Cso people think you're funny
How do you get those people's money?
EmArt is dead, we'rCe rolling in dough
                          Em                 C-G-D
While Carlin rolls in his grave, in his grave
Emthis show has got a budget
The Cshow has got a budget
And Gall the poor people way more deserving of the Dmoney won't budge it
Cause I Emwanted my name in lights
When CI could have fed a family of four
For Gforty fucking fortnights, Dforty fucking fortnights
I am an Emartist, please god forgive me
I am an Cartist, please don't revere me
I am an Gartist, please don't respect me
I am an Dartist, feel free to correct me
A self-centered Emartist, self-obsessed artist
I am an Cartist, I am an artist
But I'm just a Gkid, I'm just a kid, I'm just a Dkid, kid
And maybe I'll grow out of itEm

Art is dead, art is dead

G D

Art is dead, art is dead

Em C

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 really 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

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 dough

Em C-G-D

While Carlin rolls in his grave, in his grave

this show has got a budget

The show has got a budget

G D

And all the poor people way more deserving of the money won't budge it

Cause I wanted my name in lights

When I could have fed a family of four

G D

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

G D

But I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, kid

And maybe I'll grow out of it
