lyrics

Everybody’s talking about it
Everybody’s doing it
Are you?
Spend
Spend on the Trend
Don’t get left out
Join the bandwagon
I’m this label
We sound like this band
More and more genres to label yourself with
Professional cookie cutters
Give all your money to the institutions
Make those institutions rich
You’re not an artist unless you do
Don’t be yourself
Be apart of the scene
I don’t get it
Defend yourself
It’s artsy fartsy
That’s weird
Don’t ever try to understand anything beyond the scope of society’s conditioning

Behold fART world!
Just another egocentric model that’s not even absolute to the Universe, but yet we give it that value. This being just one example of many other CULTure Crap pockets interwoven into society by the same source of problems, the ego.

It’s two sides of the same piece of shit.
On one you have a pretentious CULTure money pocket that feels like high school never ended.
Insecure scenes, popularity contests, showing off, labeling themselves, and trends. People refusing to be themselves out of fear. People creating for the wrong reasons, egotistical reasons.

On the other, just outside that CULTure pocket, you have arrogance that says that they “don’t get it” as an insecure ego defense mechanism. If it’s “too weird,” they won’t even try to understand and may call it “artsy fartsy.” As you can see, both have a similar insecure problem, a fear. Instead of surrendering to what is obvious, it’s provisional nature.

You don’t need to become the next sensation. You don’t need to try to be someone your not. You don’t need to perpetuate this egotistical Stupidity. You don’t need an institution to create and then rob you of your money. You don’t need a fake elitist ego CULTure that discourages others on the outside of it. We’re all great artists, we’re all great creators! The Universe is your canvas people!

Make sure you be a sheep!
