**** Art
 
(This is not so much a song as it is a poem. Though I think it would work for a screamo song.)

“All art is quite useless.”
But that doesn’t stop us.

Take a picture of a cameraman;
Call it metaphotography.
Film yourself masturbating to static:
You’re a post-modern visionary;
Record it and you’re an avant-garde genius.

Bathe in paint and jump off a building:
Move over Jackson Pollock.
Drink watercolors and vomit:
Call it self-examination.
Or just leave the canvas blank: a minimalist masterpiece.

Critics will rave,
Art ***s will foam,
Collectors will pay;

But you’ll laugh into your bottle and die alone.

Art is dead,
But that doesn’t stop us.

I like it; it was controversial, and I actually knew what it was talking about

When I saw the title, I was like, have fun tonight, because tomorrow I'm going to kill you. But it wasn't what I expected it to be. So, that's good.

Film yourself masturbating to static:
You’re a post-modern visionary; < Rofl.

^ You use an example of bad photography, bad filming, but no bad music. Maybe something about repetitiveness in new music, or computer generated music?

'Record it...' is a jab at avant-garde noise outfits.
