Fifteen Minutes from ARTISTS ONLY by Vinny Peculiar

Fifteen minutes of fame the old Warhol cliché was
A feeble affair so late in the day
Just show me the work and I’ll copy and paste
I don’t want you to get all covered in paint

Just choose an image help yourself
Off the jpeg off the shelf
I’ll be right here if you need some help

Opportunity knocked exhibitions sold out
But now the likes and the views the feeds and the news
Are riddled with doubt
I try to keep up to date wash dirty hands
New wave coming soon yeah, you’re gonna need to make plans

Just take a picture make a copy
Hang it up in the hotel lobby
Tell the manager not to worry

Reproduction is king and Andy knows best
He takes a very dim view of all our futile regrets
Repeat after repeat cause nothing has changed
Nico’s harmonium drones into oblivion

The negative is in the can the picture sucks
It’s just a PR scam you’re not fault it’s the way I am

Max’s closed down and the factory sold
A long time ago but that story that story’s still told
And now the gallery show is a raging success
All those tales in a spin all those heads in a mess

Take a picture of yourself off the peg off the shelf
I’m still here if you want some help
