Story Of An Artist

Listen up and I'll tell a story
认真听，我要给你讲个故事
About an artist growing old
一位艺术家变老的故事
Some would try for fame and glory
一些人禁不住诱惑沽名钓誉
Others aren't so bold
另有一群人倒也不是这么莽撞

不过，每个人都被亲朋好友
And everyone in friends and family
怂恿着，“快去，找份工作”
Sayin' "hey go get a job
可是，为什么你只想着找工作
Why do you only do that only
为什么你要这样墨守成规？
Why are you so odd?
”我们不太喜欢你目前的工作，
"And we don't really like what you do
其他人也不会喜欢的
We don't think anyone ever will
你是个怪胎
We think you have a problem
你是不是疯了？”
And this problem's made you ill"
这位艺术家在花丛中漫步

享受着阳光
The artist walks among the flowers
他一醒来就去那里了
Appreciating the sun
好家伙，谁敢说他做错了
He's out there all his waking hours
但是，这位艺术家是独自一人散步
Oh and who's to say he's wrong
有人在他背后评头论足
But the artist walks alone
“他定是有什么难言之隐

甚至不清楚他自己的位置”
And someone says behind his back
那群议论者在电视机前
"He's got some gall to call himself that
叫嚣着，“独自一人不是最有趣的么”
He doesn't even know where he's at"
他们嘲笑着艺术家
And they sit in front of their tv
“他是个连乐趣都不知道上哪儿找的人”
Sayin' "hey isn't this a lot of fun"
认真听，我要给你讲个故事

一位艺术家变老的故事
And they laugh at the artist
一些人禁不住诱惑沽名钓誉
Saying "he don't know how to have fun"
另有一些人爱观察这个世界

嗒 嗒 嗒……
Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growin' old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others like to watch the world
