A mean-spirited tirade against people who fancy themselves writers, regardless of their originality. Meh. Not my favourite.

On this site we have the 8 songs which make up the Crap Art album, where I wrote and recorded all 8 on March 31, 2004. The rules for the project and other examples can be found at the . However, I tried to make these songs as uncrappy as I could in the course of a day, and I think I succeeded for the most part.

Lyrics
pen = tapping the notebook oh ho it's been a long long night mind = a babbling brook oh ho there's nothing left to write pen = scratches a word out it will not stand the test of age mind = blurts a new thought out but it won't make it to the page words of the greats have mocked and taunted you cause you could've said it if only you wanted to you should be relishing all their applause oh oh shouldn't you, genius without a cause? eyes = reading the writers who gave you the initial drive hands = use the highlighter over words that you write to strive eyes = hide your frustration as your foot taps a nervous twitch hands = procrastination by reaching down to scratch an itch eyes remain affixed to the wall before you everyone else has said it all before you you should be relishing all their applause oh oh shouldn't you, genius without a cause? did you think you'd be a master if you just wore the master's clothes your pain too can be beautiful if you can write it down as prose and now you're gonna wonder why we're all looking down our nose when you try to be a genius we all can see right through your pose
