Story Of An Artist

Story Of An Artist 歌詞
Listen up and Ill tell a story
認真聽,我要給你講個故事
About an artist growing old
一位藝術家變老的故事
Some would try for fame and glory
一些人禁不住誘惑沽名釣譽
Others arent so bold
另有一群人倒也不是這麼莽撞
不過,每個人都被親朋好友
And everyone in friends and family
慫恿著,“快去,找份工作”
Sayin 'hey go get a job
可是,為什麼你只想著找工作
Why do you only do that only
為什麼你要這樣墨守成規?
Why are you so odd?
”我們不太喜歡你目前的工作,
'And we dont really like what you do
其他人也不會喜歡的
We dont think anyone ever will
你是個怪胎
We think you have a problem
你是不是瘋了?”
And this problems made you ill'
這位藝術家在花叢中漫步
享受著陽光
The artist walks among the flowers
他一醒來就去那裡了
Appreciating the sun
好傢伙,誰敢說他做錯了
Hes out there all his waking hours
但是,這位藝術家是獨自一人散步
Oh and whos to say hes wrong
有人在他背後評頭論足
But the artist walks alone
“他定是有什麼難言之隱
甚至不清楚他自己的位置”
And someone says behind his back
那群議論者在電視機前
'Hes got some gall to call himself that
叫囂著,“獨自一人不是最有趣的麼”
He doesnt even know where hes at'
他們嘲笑著藝術家
And they sit in front of their tv
“他是個連樂趣都不知道上哪兒找的人”
Sayin 'hey isnt this a lot of fun'
認真聽,我要給你講個故事
一位藝術家變老的故事
And they laugh at the artist
一些人禁不住誘惑沽名釣譽
Saying 'he dont know how to have fun'
另有一些人愛觀察這個世界
嗒嗒嗒……
Listen up and Ill tell a story
About an artist growin old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others like to watch the world
Da da da da da da da da da da ...
