[Verse 1] I'm gonna steal some bedsheets From an amputee I'm gonna mount em on a canvas In the middle of the gallery I'm gonna tell everybody It was painted by a chimpanzee Just between you and me Here at the cultural low watermark If it's fraud or art They'll pay you to believe [Verse 2] I'm gonna take five young dudes From white families I'm gonna mount 'em on a billboard In the middle of the country I'm gonna tell everybody They sing like angels with whiter teeth But just between you and me They're just like the ones before With their standards lower Every concertgoer will pay you to believe [Chorus] Oh, caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognize And as the world is getting smaller, small things take up all your time Narcissus would have had a field day if he could have got online And friends it's not self-love that k**s you
It's when those who hate you are allowed To sell you that you're a glorious sh** The entire world revolves around And that you're the eater, not the eaten But that your hunger will only cease If you come binge on radiant blandness At the disposable feast [Bridge] Just quickly how would you rate yourself In terms of s** appeal and cultural significance? Do you usually listen to music like this? Can we recommend some similar artists? Are you feeling depressed? But your feedback's important To us [Verse 3] Gonna buy myself a sports team And put 'em in a pit I'm gonna mount the old crusade Against consciousness All I need's a couple winners To get every loser to fight in it Keep the golden calf Just need the bullsh** And they won't just sell themselves into slavery They'll get on their knees and pay you to believe
