[00:02.81]
[00:17.66] Listen up and I'll tell a story
[00:20.28]
[00:22.72] About an artist growing old
[00:25.84]
[00:27.33] Some would try for fame and glory
[00:30.27]
[00:32.39] Others aren't so bold
[00:34.76]
[00:37.32] Everyone and friends and family
[00:40.44]
[00:42.25] Saying "Hey Get a job "
[00:44.81]
[00:46.87] "Why do you only do that only
[00:49.74]
[00:52.61] Why are you so odd
[00:57.17]
[00:57.92] We don't really like what you do
[01:00.79]
[01:02.61] We don't think anyone ever will
[01:05.35]
[01:04.60] It's a problem that you have
[01:10.60]
[01:11.92] And this problem's made you ill "
[01:15.54]
[01:17.22] Listen up and I'll tell a story
[01:19.91]
[01:22.34] About an artist growing old
[01:25.02]
[01:27.52] Some would try for fame and glory
[01:30.33]
[01:32.26] Others aren't so bold
[01:34.82]
[01:37.94] The artist walks alone
[01:40.88]
[01:42.69] Someone says behind his back
[01:45.49]
[01:47.05] "He's got his gall to call himself that
[01:49.93]
[01:51.68] He doesn't even know where he's at "
[01:54.48]
[01:56.54] The artist walks among the flowers
[01:59.59]
[02:01.71] Appreciating the sun
[02:04.03]
[02:05.71] He does this all his waking hours
[02:08.64]
[02:11.01] But is it really so wrong
[02:13.32]
[02:17.07] They sit in front of their TV
[02:19.82]
[02:22.12] Saying "Hey This is fun "
[02:24.62]
[02:27.80] And they laugh at the artist
[02:30.42]
[02:32.92] Saying "He doesn't know how to have fun "
[02:36.04]
[02:38.62] The best things in life are truly free
[02:41.36]
[02:44.54] Singing birds and laughing bees
[02:47.28]
[02:49.97] "You've got me wrong" says he
[02:52.40]
[02:54.33] "The sun don't shine in your TV"
[02:56.96]
[03:01.32] Listen up and I'll tell a story
[03:03.70]
[03:06.01] About an artist growing old
[03:08.39]
[03:10.95] Some would try for fame and glory
[03:13.69]
[03:15.56] Others aren't so bold
[03:17.87]
[03:20.42] Everyone and friends and family
[03:22.98]
[03:24.98] Saying "Hey Get a job "
[03:27.30]
[03:31.19] "Why do you only do that only
[03:33.63]
[03:35.50] Why are you so odd
[03:37.93]
[03:41.42] We don't really like what you do
[03:44.04]
[03:45.98] We don't think anyone ever will

[03:58.03]
[04:00.89] Listen up and I'll tell a story
[04:03.95]
[04:05.95] About an artist growing old
[04:08.38]
[04:10.63] Some would try for fame and glory
[04:13.44]
[04:15.81] Others just like to watch the world
