The Artist lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics The Artist lyrics In a Black & White World You are told that you are crazy You are bought, packaged, and sold You are controlled By crowds and corporations That determine your station They down-size inspiration They drop your fate on a plate and just wait They expect you to consume They expect you to sedate And oh How you hate the love That you have towards your curse And worse: You are aware that you are addicted To your power to create You waste youth in silent prisons As quietly you wait But the famous and the unknown gifts And dreamers in their own And underdogs seeking higher lift And even legends on their thrones Have all had their dreams stepped on Stolen, raped, and badly beaten But when the muse calls on it won?t be long Soon we all are what we ve eaten So this is for artists Who do not cease to give birth And the many things your wild hearts bring To grace our blessed earth song lyrics
