Leni riefenstahl at the end of time

Do you want to judge me or do you come to judge my art?
No, of course it's me you've come to try
You'd like me to be just a pretty face
Or a grinning bete noire
I'm neither, that's a problem for you

Did I notice the world gone mad around me?
Leni at the end of time
Who pays your bills and what do you do?
Leni at the end of time

The world around me has always been mad
Where have you been?
Did I know people were dying?
Do you even know people die?
What could I have done if I did?

In a world there is no luxury for this
Leni at the end of time
I followed my muse I followed nothing else
Leni at the end of time

I leave you so unsatisfied that I'm unrepentant and still alive
How I will outlive you all and how I outclass you all
Congratulate yourselves on what you would have done
But you never did, never had to try
To think, to choose to live, to die or what

Another charming movie actress
A B-movie villainess
No thank you, I do not want it
Talk to me when you give back your grants

Did I notice the world gone mad around me?
Leni at the end of time
I followed my muse I followed nothing else
Leni at the end of time
