Lyrics

The Artist

[Verse 1] I'm gonna move to San Francisco And watch all the hip young artists struggle with their rent Ooh, I'm gonna be one of them [Verse 2] I'm gonna find a pale young heiress I'm gonna make her fall in love with me And live the good life for free Woah-woah-woah I'm gonna be an artist [Verse 3] We'll take a trip to South Dakota And blaze through the lonely desert in a shiny new rent-a-car And take pictures of everything we see Woah-woah-woah [Bridge] Pictures that everyone should see Woah-woah-woah Because my perspective is so unique [Verse 3] Some people work a nine to five Don't they know there's a better life Woah-woah Why don't they move to San Francisco? If only they knew, they could be artists too [Chorus] Woah-woah-woah It's so good to be an artist Woah-woah-woah Its so good to be an artist [Outro] Woah-woah Woah-woah Woah-woah Woah-woah Woah-woah Woah-woah Woah-woah Woah-woah
