The Critics Are Never Kind Lyrics - Rendezvous In Rio - Michael Franks

The critics are always blind 

deaf and dumb when it comes to change 

Their feeble brains cannot penetrate 

until its too late

If art is to survive 

their specialty is jive 

The critics must earn their keep 

by using pedantic words 

ones never heard 

With razor sharp wit 

but who gives a sh..
