The Last Artist Died Today Lyrics

Extinction is lonely

Seriously how dare we

But no one believes in the truth

Your servants are leaving

Your children aren't breathing

The air hanging like a noose

And I hold my cap tightly

Money they throw lightly

Everybody's got nothing left to say

I sing with the dead

Hang down my head

The last artist died today

The last artist died today

Food so weak

Death by what we eat

Feels like something gotta give

The Buddhists all beaten

Can't believe what I'm seein

Children no longer want to live

In new sickness' we're curled

In this broken old world

To how many gods must we pray

And I played that song

With the meaning all gone

For the last artist died today

The last artist died today

Once expression was free

But they got it down on its knees

They sold it for money youth and fame

The challenge is over

Culture gone sober

We're going back where we came

But the future won't last

We're coming in too fast

If the protestors get out of the way

The nine year olds are all eleven

There's hostages in heaven

The last artist died today

The last artist died today

Evolution is dead

The technologies have bled

The soul of a man on the rise

People without reason

Live in Unicorn season

All believe as they swallow the lies

The world getting smaller

As land heeds to water

The submarines beach whales in the bay

I can't deny the weather

New isn't always better

The last artist died today

The last artist died today

And young people are driven

To accept what they're given

But nobody stands up anymore

While there's games to be won

The evolution of the thumb

As you throw your thoughts to the floor

You don't want to listen

And you don't want to look

And you don't want to hear what we say

No one can save

The world is our slave

For the last artist died today

The last artist died today

You trade wisdom for youth

I got two chords and the truth

But there's no money to be made out of me

The last artist gone

Taken his song

The world now too dark to see

Too many people alive

For beauty to survive

Nothing left new to say

To the extinction list

My friend has kissed

Last artist died today

The last artist died today
