Inspired by the film 'Loving Vincent' and an argument about choosing art as a career path.

lyrics

Under the stars there’s hardly hope
You’d cut off your right ear if it would stop you hearing no
Grind sunflower seeds and shoot them up like dope
Everyone loves a dead artist but not a bitter one

Van Gogh was poor let that sink in

Maybe you should have listened from the start
It's all about the money you should have stayed away from art
I don’t know how to make this understood
These days even a famous artist is a starving one

Van Gogh was poor let that sink in

And if you didn't get paid did you do it at all?
And if you didn't make did you make it at all?
And if you didn't get rich was it worth it at all?

Van Gogh was poor let that sink in
