Louis Gentile - The critic

(The critic speaks)
Who are they to tell me I wasn't good enough
The teachers, the experts, the singers, the musicians, the lot!
A case of unrecognized quality and prejudice stupidity
My talent and ability unquestionable
or not?
Now here I am in the royal opera box,
And it's my turn to judge them!
Gonna show them all that the price of success is high
Cause those who can't do teach, and those who can't join

CRITICIZE!

What's that I hear in your voice, a trace of imperfection?
And what's that conductor trying to do down there
fly?
The tenor's obese gestures disturb me,
But the audience seems to be entertained by it all
WHY?
I just can't sit here and take this; something has to be done!
Someone must objectively put them in their place
Now who can that someone be?
Wait a minute
that someone is me!
Cause I'll
CRITICIZE

Criticize he'll criticize, criticize he'll criticize,
Criticize he'll criti
criti
criti
criti

And if you don't sound like my favorite singer,
Man I'm gonna tear you apart
And if you don't live up to my frustration
of what is art
Who are you to tell me what is good?
In the end it's me who decides!

You'll wait till the morning paper is delivered
To find out if you did well, Cause
I'll CRITICIZE!

I'll write a detailed intellectual assessment of the production
Confirming my superior knowledge
and taste
Perhaps a line or two
about the singers,
More than that you'll agree would be a waste

I'm here to inform you if it was good or bad

Your opinion is not required
Something like this you just can't decide on your own
In the end you'll see, the last word is mine

So excuse me
I gotta go now
and

CRITICIZE!

Criticize he'll criticize, criticize he'll criticize,
Criticize he'll criti
criti
criti
criti

And if you don't act like my favorite actor
Man I'm gonna rip you apart!
And if you don't give in to my obsession of what is art!
Tonight you'll shine up on the stage,
But tomorrow your ass is MINE!

And you'll deny you ever read what I write

Yet somehow you'll always find out

What I CRITICIZE

Criticize he'll criticize, criticize he'll criti
criti
