Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Revelation artistry
So fed up with hypocrisy
There isn't a label large enough to fit your bill
[Verse 2]
Act like you deserve to win
Trade up for a thicker skin
For scraps of acceptance
From coked-up, quasi-urbane kids
[Verse 3]
I'm really, really, really
Really proud of what you did
[Verse 4]
Post-paint boy
With your art
You're penny rich and dollar dumb
In a style that they call
So non-European
[Verse 5]
You're the maker of modern
Minor masterpieces for the untrained eye
You're the maker of modern
Minor masterpieces for the untrained eye, yep
[Verse 6]
Belarus biennial
You surely, surely made them wow
Minds were blown
And bombs were thrown, oh no
[Verse 7]
Seventeen aunteaters
Sequestered in a room
With the sisters of mothers
Of famous gluttons I don't know
[Verse 8]
You really, really, really
Really, really, really showed
[Verse 9]
Who can blame you for becoming
Penny smart and dollar dumb
In a world that has become
So American?
[Verse 10]
You're the maker of modern
Minor masterpieces for the untrained eye
You're the maker of modern
Minor masterpieces for the untrained eye
You're the maker of modern
Minor masterpieces for the untrained eye
You're the maker of modern
Minor masterpieces for the untrained eye, yep
