Art-hounds, look like nothing
So art-hounds, write something
And those that do are judged by those who tried

Art-hounds, see the greek ideal
And gaze on what they never feel

The pitiless, the pitiless revenge

Art-hounds, knows whats around
Because they’ve seen it somewhere written down
And everything they’ve seen on the moving screen
Helps them fill up the page

They bring along their loving aunt
But when they can’t find a table
For their fat aunt Mabel
They stamp their feet and cry

Art-hounds, very funny
Very witty, but very lonely
And below the belt is shrivelled and small
It functions only as a word

It knows a thousand woes

If you cannot stand this fake world
If you cannot stand this fake world
Take my hand

I take sixteen pills to send me to sleep
And sixteen pills to shake me awake
