Celebutantes

You got real famous for nothing at all, well
Bully for you
But there's no reason I should know who you are so
Whoop-dee-friggin’-doo
You're just another person taking up room in my brain
Instead of things I need to know
Every time you shop, eat, or do anything
It's a brand new episode!

I could name a few examples, but I’m afraid that
They won't age too well
And by the time you hear this tune, they'll all be forgotten and that's
Kind of a tell
So maybe try charity or passable art
Or something that can say
“I was a human a long time ago
But the good I've done remains”

There's so many dilettantеs
That we choose to look up to
I'm sick of celеbutantes and
Frankly, why aren't you?

You got to publish four selfies a day
And do another interview
With an artist
And yet another friggin’ podcast

Its human nature to want to be liked
And liking things is good
It’s a vicious cycle of leading folks that
Don't act like they would
If they were being nice, or polite or kind
Or had any artistic intent
Then I hope that this song won’t be too popular
So I don't have to circumvent

There's so many dilettantes
That we choose to look up to
I'm sick of celebutantes and
Frankly, why aren’t you?
