NEW TRICKS: ART, AESTHETICS, AND MONEY Lyrics

Welcome everybody
Let's begin

Can't teach new tricks to an old dog (yeah)
Riding round the strip in an old car (yeah)
Teach new tricks to an old dog (yeah)
Never wear the leash of the old guard (I need everybody to stand up)

Been around the block but you messed up (ay, turn it up)
Never sit and stay for a picture (turn it up)
Never wagged a tail, would've bit ya (yeah)
Look at how they lap and they lick ya (yeah)

Congeniality is a basis for content (uh-huh)
Peddling narcissism wrapped in self love and profit (yeah)
You want it, I got it, this soul is a bargain (I know you want it)
America, the land of pretty people and monsters (I got it)

Disneyland spinoff full of privilege and products (yeah)
Compete with our drama, clawed out from the bucket (uh-huh)
Pretenders as artists
Selling scoundrels and follies (I know you pretending)
(You can't compete with me, stop it)

A link, a platinum leash affixed to my wallet (uh-huh)
My hand, my stone-laced hand affixed to my pocket (uh-huh)
My heart, my ice cold box remiss of her conduct (uh-huh)
A row of gold dipped caps affixed to my gum line (excuse me, can you turn it up please?)

Can't teach new tricks to an old dog (yeah)
Riding round the strip in an old car (yeah)
Teach new tricks to an old dog (yeah)
Never wear the leash of the old guard (yeah)

Been around the block but you messed up (block)
Never sit and stay for a picture (nah)
Never wagged a tail, would've bit ya (uh-huh)
Look at how they lap and they lick ya (ay)

Pull me along, man (I need y'all to turn it up)
You're yanking my collar (my favorite part coming)
Can't dance for your dollar again, yeah (let's go)

What's the new kick? What's the new gig?
What's the new schtick?
Who's the new flesh to sink our teeth in? (Yeah)
Oh, then we drink their youthful spring and
Run them dry, count checks, keep it moving

My life condensed to targets
Audiences and their pockets (I see you)
When redwoods fall, seem all and all
We're left with noise and sawdust (everybody hands up)

Individuality
Unique as a Walmart (so special)
Exercising thought process
Complete as a donut (I'm so special)

Look at that over there
Audacity totems (I love you so much)
They claim who make the grade
No, you meet the quota (let's go)

Can't teach new tricks to an old dog (yeah)
Riding round the strip in an old car
Teach new tricks to an old dog (yeah)
Never wear the leash of the old guard

Been around the block but you messed up
Never sit and stay for a picture
Never wagged a tail, would've bit ya
Look at how they lap and they lick ya (yeah)

Pull me along, man
You're yanking my collar
Can't dance for your dollar again, yeah (ay, Kish)
(I don't think they hands is up in the back, turn it up)

How can I waste my time? (Waste my time)
Love, you can have it take my place in line (place in line) (I love you so much)
I'm sitting pretty dipped in raw sunshine (sunshine)
Been known to shake a cage or two at times (at times) (turn it up)

How can I waste my tiHow can I waste my time? (Waste my time)
The ceiling's vaulted and your glass re-primed (re-primed)
Pulled linen curtains from across my eyes? (My eyes)
Life is too long to be so pacified (let's go)
