[00:29.08]Listen up and I'll tell a story
[00:37.02]About an artist growing old
[00:42.75]Some would try for fame and glory
[00:48.54]Others aren't so bold
[00:52.75]
[00:53.86]And everyone in friends and family
[00:59.50]Sayin' "hey go get a job
[01:04.95]Why do you only do that only
[01:10.84]Why are you so odd?
[01:16.13]"And we don't really like what you do
[01:21.82]We don't think anyone ever will
[01:28.05]We think you have a problem
[01:32.87]And this problem's made you ill"
[01:37.12]
[02:00.00]The artist walks among the flowers
[02:05.59]Appreciating the sun
[02:10.91]He's out there all his waking hours
[02:16.05]Oh and who's to say he's wrong
[02:21.88]But the artist walks alone
[02:26.41]
[02:27.47]And someone says behind his back
[02:32.56]"He's got some gall to call himself that
[02:37.94]He doesn't even know where he's at"
[02:43.41]And they sit in front of their tv
[02:48.77]Sayin' "hey isn't this a lot of fun"
[02:53.73]
[02:54.74]And they laugh at the artist
[02:59.17]Saying "he don't know how to have fun"
[03:03.82]
[03:06.56]Listen up and I'll tell a story
[03:14.45]About an artist growin' old
[03:19.45]Some would try for fame and glory
[03:24.21]Others like to watch the world
[03:29.29]
