Lyrics
Years ago I went out and some damaged old guy said,
"Boy, you look uneasy"
And we stepped out for a smoke
And as I turned to leave, he said he had something for me
So he handed me a book, with sorrow in his eyes
And the title seemed so good, it was The Insider's Guide To Life
And I asked him if this book ever did him any good
He said, "I never read it son, but I really think you should"
All it did was gather dust
I tried to read it but it seemed so heavy
I dragged it everywhere so that someday I could read it
It would reveal itself to me
He handed me a book with sorrow in his eyes
And the title seemed so good, it was '"The Insider's Guide To Life
And I asked him if this book ever did him any good
He said, "I never read it son, but I really think you should"
Years later I met a younger man
I said, "Boy, you look so uneasy"
And I handed him a book, with sorrow in my eyes
And the title seemed so good, it was The Insider's Guide To Life
And he asked me if this book ever did me any good
I said, "I never read it son, but I really think you should"
