The Critics Are Never Kind Lyrics

[Gauguin]
The critics are never king
They thrive on the negative

[Degas]
They Seldom give
Their praise or their thanks

[Van Gogh]
And their word is sacrosanct

[Gauguin]
The critics are always blind
Deaf and dumb when it comes to change

[Degas]
Their feeble brains
Cannot penetrate

[Van Gogh]
Until it's too late

[Trio]
We are Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh
We are painters not parasites Michael Franks - The Critics Are Never Kind - http://motolyrics.com/michael-franks/the-critics-are-never-kind-lyrics.html
Which one of them will ever know
What it's like to get high on
sweet inspiration?

[Gauguin]
The critics are lonely souls
Their job is a thankless one

[Degas]
Which must be done
If art it to survive

[Van Gogh]
Their specialty is jive

[Gauguin]
The critics must earn their keep
By using pedantic words

[Degas]
One's never heard
With razor sharp wit

[Van Gogh]
But who gives a sh......?
