It's not easy trying to be great
It's not patience when you don't know how to wait
Who said that you could make a painting with no paint

Love and marriage are still around
Art's everywhere, a cultural playground
Information's battleground
LA's a fake city so I've heard
The internet is the big word, I've never been
Oh the smell, when the septic tank was cleansed

Whose going to Miami, the Playboy Mansion
Or living like the last night on Earth?
Whose got the knowledge and knows what it's worth?

It's not easy trying to be great
It's not patience when you don't know how to wait
Who said that you could make a painting without paint

It's not easy trying to be great
It's not patience when you don't know how to wait
