lyrics

Can someone please explain to me
How this whole music thing can
Make me money
Is it too much to ask
That I might see a little cash
For making art
I just want to entertain
Play some chords and sing
Live the good life doing what I know
Isn't it a pity
That living in this city
Is the only thing that I cant afford.

While I was learning scales and modes
I should have been learning how to code
And join the tech world
But I can't really see me
Working at air b n b and sell my soul
Does it sound so wrong
That I might write a song
And get paid a decent wage
To bring you joy
Isn't it a pity
That living in this city
Playing music is considered unemployed

Can someone please explain to me
How money is a means to being happy
When there isn't room for artistry
Creativity is a Hobby for the poor.
Maybe I'm just lazy
Immature and crazy
To think that id never have to grow up
Isn't it a pity
I am living in this city
And it's the only place I've ever really loved.
Isn't it a pity
I'm living in this city
Rent is due
And I'm totally fucked
