Before you call Van Gogh crazy,
just know that he's roof, you're ground floor
Before saying he was out of his mind, draw something
with paper and crayons.
Van Gogh, not just some guy,
one that at your age
was reading books by Emile Zola,
Shakespeare,
Dickens
You read DVD recorder handbooks.
Him, 300 letters, fine literature
You, 160 characters, two emojis and that's fine to you
Him, London, Paris, Antwerp
You, megastores, malls, multiplex
Him, far away yet knows everything about his brother Theo
You live together with your own brother and still know nothing about him
Him, barefoot in fields, it boosts him
You, locked up with cramps on the treadmill
Well, from a first guess my dude
You should agree that
You're the insane one
Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh
Not Van Gogh
You - you're the insane one
Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh
Not Van Gogh
You're the insane one
Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh
Not Van Gogh
You're the insane one, not Van Gogh
You're the insane one, not Van Gogh
Van Gogh!
At 16 he was roaming around art exhibitions
At 16 you're collecting Yu Gi Oh cards
At 20 in the Louvre salon
You, stripped pennyless in the SUV autosalon
Him, oil on canvas, painted masterpieces
You, oil on biceps, bodybuilding competitions
Him, peasants, models, prostitutes,
You, spending nights in bed with your computer
Him, he's got talent and you know it
You, it's been a while since you last had it
Him, he bet on himself
You, online poker
Him, excited about having met Gauguin
You, excited about having snorted cocaine
Him, absinthe and poetry
You, absence of poetry
He's got faith, you believe you're the Messiah
Van Gogh, with a blade he cuts off his ear
I hear you talk, I'm about to do the same
I've got a razor in my hands but I won't kill you
I'll have mercy on you because
You're the insane one
Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh
Not Van Gogh
You - you're the insane one
Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh
Not Van Gogh
You're the insane one
Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh
Not Van Gogh
You're the insane one, not Van Gogh
You're the insane one, not Van Gogh
Smashing everything when they score a goal
Standing in line for a smartphone
You're the insane one, not Van Gogh
You're the insane one, not Van Gogh
Fair enough, Van Gogh used to eat paint and other crazy stuff
- probably still less toxic than your cheeseburger.
Had hallucinations which altered his sight
You get high on shrooms in Amsterdam but that doesn't make you an artist
You're obsessed with mobile phones, he with sunflowers
Hanging out with you it's like hanging out alone
Sleight of hand, wind shifts like in Go Fish
Flash news, my dude
You're not sane anymore!
You're the insane one
Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh
Not Van Gogh
You - you're the insane one
Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh
Not Van Gogh
You're the insane one
Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh
Not Van Gogh
You're the insane one, not Van Gogh
You're the insane one, not Van Gogh
