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
