Everyone wants to be rich and famous
Get a career and make money and become an idol.
But there ambition and truth don't mix.
Ambition is wonderful and it gives you dreams of the future.
But ambition is all dreams, and truth is simply true.
That's why ambition and truth don't mix.
Truth makes you a realist, not to be confused with a pessimist.
Being true to yourself unlocks real motives and goals.
But truth dreams little
So truth and ambition don't mix.
Ambition says dream! Dream on!
Truth replies, some dreams are only dreams.
Ambition is on your side, and is your biggest fan.
Truth is your coach, and tells you to be mindful.
Ambition and truth can be driving and pushing and motivating.
But ambition and truth don't mix.
