Painting Now Lyrics – Jason Gotay
Singer: Jason Gotay
Title: Painting Now
When I dropped out of art school
I found an agent
I’d been in New York City
For just, like, a week
But this man called me daring
Said I’m the next Ali
Which means I’m a rockstar
In pretentious artspeak
I had one goal: to sell a painting
Said I’d sell my soul just to sell one painting
He got real focused and he looked me in the eye
And said
Yeah, he said
I don’t want you to be you
I can’t name a single thing you do
That’s any better than anybody else
Who’s painting now
So, go start painting now
So I got down to work
I used basic colors
It looked just like something
I’d seen in a book before
But when I released it
I got a commission
And then I saw those jobs
Coming in more and more
I was highly sought after
I was called the cream of the crop
And when someone tells you that you’re the best
Well, you just don’t stop, you just don’t stop
You forget how to feel
When someone changes every little thing you do
You start to think you’re better than anybody else
Who’s painting now
Oh, painting now
Oh what a joy
They called the voice of a generation
You start to be coy
But you’re all caught up in their veneration
You feel like a king
With all those kind words being shouted aloud
But you can’t paint a thing
You see your whole line of work and you’re no longer proud
‘Cause what are you supposed to do
When you have everything
Except what made you you?
You tear the colors from the wall
You keep on tearing until you’ve torn them all
You keep on painting ’till its done
It might be sh#t, but at least you’re having fun
You throw out all that came before
It might be hard, but you know you can paint some more
You start with white, but at least you’re painting now
You’re painting
You’re painting
You’re painting now
