Lyrics

Snip, trim all the things that you don’t like

Cut and paste your life until it’s looking bright

‘Cause it’s arts and crafts, baby

You’re a canvas for painting

See the artwork all around you

Masterpieces, can’t keep count and

Teacher’s got so much pride

These girls and boys so blue-eyed

They paint impeccable pictures

Romancing their self-image

But under the thin veneer

They’re struggling to appear perfect

Oh, it looks so simple, so easy

Grab a brush, flick a wrist artistically

When you can’t, you’re thinking that somethings wrong inside

What are you not doing right?

Snip, trim all the things that you don’t like

Cut and paste your life until it’s looking bright

‘Cause it’s arts and crafts, baby

You’re a canvas for painting

Dozens of retries, but you can’t get it right

Can’t x-ray their image, see what lies behind

’Cause it’s arts and crafts baby

Flawlessness just out of reach

Tapestries across the wall

If only you would cross the hall

You’d notice all of the flaws

Woven in amongst the fibres

Glass vase, it may look so pretty

But when pressure sets in

It’s only a fragile image

Despite the beauty held in it

Oh, it looks so simple, so easy

Grab a brush, flick a wrist artistically

When you can’t, you’re thinking that somethings wrong inside

What are you not doing right?

Snip, trim all the things that you don’t like

Cut and paste your life until it’s looking bright

‘Cause it’s arts and crafts, baby

You’re a canvas for painting

Dozens of retries, but you can’t get it right

Can’t x-ray their image, see what lies behind

‘Cause it’s arts and crafts baby

Flawlessness just out of reach

Arts and crafts

Arts and crafts

Arts and crafts, baby

You can’t maintain a perfect pose, it is impossible

It doesn’t matter your experience as a model

Art’s meant to capture all the things that will not last forever

If you were perfect then you would be rigid, glued together
