Lyrics
Why must I always do this
Set myself up for attack?
With the last of my broken brushes
Paint a target on my back
Look I don't aspire to failure
But you don't always get to choose
And there's only so many times
You can lose
Do what you love they say
And you'll never work your whole days
But there's another side to that ten bob bit
Money'll turn that love to hate
And the need to make a living
Will bleed that good life dry
Draining every ounce of pleasure
Like a spider sucks a fly
Hold on to what you love
It will sustain you
Don't let the colours fade
Or wash away
Don't let the naysayers
Constrain you
Stay true, unbeliever, stay true
Stay true, unbeliever, stay true
You can forge your way through the jungle
You can sell your soul for glue
You can boast about your brilliance
But it doesn't make it true
Just keep a safe place inside your head
Yours for itself alone
Something with no resale value
The most precious thing you'll own
Hold on to what you love
It will sustain you
Don't let the colours fade
Or wash away
Don't let the lullabies of the naysayers
Entertain you
Stay true, unbeliever, stay true
Stay true, unbeliever, stay true
Stay true, unbeliever, stay true
