THE CLUB

Did you have foolish notions when you were naive?

Did you go through the motions while others deceive?

Did you try and fail, and finally grieve?

Then welcome, welcome, welcome

To the club, my friend

.

.

Did you screw things up and make mistakes?

Do too much, get the shakes?

Hang out with a bunch of flakes?

Then welcome, welcome, welcome

To the club, my friend

.

.

Did you run up debts you could not repay?

Groan when you started another day?

Would not listen to what wise ones say?

Then welcome, welcome, welcome

To the club, my friend

.

.

Did you have to start over, learn from mistakes?

Swear to get better, whatever it takes?

Move to higher ground, pull up stakes?

Then welcome, welcome, welcome

To the club, my friend

.
