The truth be told, if you are smart
Don't burn yourself in flames of art
For sacrifice of soul and heart
You will find out that pay is hard
The truth be told, if you are eager
The life's reward is not pay's figure
But still, how much you want to give
For so little to receive
Right back, in terms of recognition
The truth be told, forget ambition
Don't burn yourself in flames of art
For sacrifice of soul and heart
