You Should Know Who I Am

I wrote every song
I righted every wrong
I founded it all
I made the first call
I’m the one they chose
I played the best shows
The first fanzine
I started the damn scene
You should know who I am
I got real street cred
I broke the first bread
I was the first hero
You were just zero
I’m worth pursuing
It was all my doing
Others did the guesswork
I did the best work
You should know who I am
It’s like this, see
You should know who you’re talking to

What you say, What you do
Freakin' stupid, Stupid you!
Where you go, Where you stay
Freakin' stupid, Go away!
Blowhard! Knucklehead!
What you think, How you work
Freakin' stupid, Stupid jerk!
The TV you watch, The songs you sing
It's all freakin' stupid, Stupid everything!
Blowhard! / Knucklehead!
Jerk!

Here’s my notice going off the grid
Give my badge to some other kid
Eliminated my resolve
This joint’s got problems that I can’t solve
Big noise but it’s all small talk
I’ve heard enough, I’m ready to walk
It’s better if I don’t get involved
This town’s got problems I can’t solve
This world spins to your advantage
I find that really tough to manage
Around you, we all revolve
You’ve got problems that I can’t solve

Art Punk

My friends call me Kandinski because they know
It’s hip to put some art in your punk rock show
It started with Beefheart back in the day
Now Art Punk is here to stay
Art Punk
I’m not like the rest
Art Punk
I’m dressed for success
Art Punk
I used to be ironic
Art Punk
Now I’m truly iconic
See me on the street. I’m a normal guy
When I create, the rules don’t apply
Forget all that prefab junk
Buy a painting from me, I’m a real art punk
Art Punk
Watch me writhe on the floor
Art Punk
Two bucks at the door
Art Punk
Not your typical geek
Art Punk
Performing all week
Chords and melody are too constraining
Play what you feel, it’s more entertaining
Untune your guitar, throw in some sax
Turn it up loud, and you’ll never go back
Art Punk
I’m way underrated
Art Punk
And never outdated
Art Punk
Playing the galleries
Art Punk
Who needs a salary?
