The Critics Are Never Kind lyrics
The critics are never kind
they thrive on the negative
they seldom give
Their praise or their thanks

Their field brains cannot penetrate
until its too late
We are Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh

We are Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh
We are painters not parasites
Which one of them will ever know
What its like to get high on sweet inspiration
