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 еverywhere so that somеday 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"
