about

Written by Dave, My Art, My Struggle is a cartoonish rant from the viewpoint of a self-proclaimed struggling artist.

lyrics

Portrait of an artist
Bloody tears on the canvas
When you’re an idealist
Everybody looks suspicious
Portraits stare and laugh at me
Statues mock me mercilessly


Shall I do something pointless?
Or nothing at all?
Is it memorable?
I really can’t recall

Art. Struggle
Art. Struggle
Art. Struggle
An artist’s wage can barely afford rage
Art. Struggle
Art. Struggle
Art. Struggle
Dance to the beat of musique concrète
Can’t move my feet
They’re stuck in concrete
No need for talent
When you have torment
Under the rubble
Watch me struggle

Art. Struggle
Art. Struggle
Art. Struggle
Self expression
Bad impression
Art. Struggle
Art. Struggle
Art. Struggle
In the words of Descartes
“That’s not very smart”
“You call that art?”
“Where is the heart?”
Never completed
Only abandoned
Writer’s block
Fuck art. Let’s rock

Aaaahh!
I give up!
