"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things."

Little Johnny Ninepin played all day but didnt have to be inside before dark or for dinner, which ever came first.
Then little Johnny didnt understand that people lied, hed seldom cry, till he started wondering why.
Oh Johnny, dont grow old.
Young Johnny Ninepins grades were always ok but his dad would say, If you applied yourself, Im sure that you could pull straight As.
Young Ninepin had his mind on more important things like cars, girls, guitars, and if hed ever get laid.
Oh Johnny, youll need to grow.
Then Johnny Ninepin found a job, he found a girl to love, he didnt think things could go wrong. He thought he had it all.
But then Johnnys girlfriend ended up putting him down. The firm downsized; Ninepin started getting wise.
Oh Johnny, theres room to grow.
In all the world theres just one Johnny Ninepin, now. And in all of the Universe theres only one of you as well.
So dont fuck around even if these things bring you down. Just dont fuck around, you only get one life you know that youll live, cause youd better start living it.
Now Johnny Ninepins gotten old and caught on that not all of his goals could be achieved, in fact, most were silly things to believe. So now Johnny knows that some ideas are not the best, certain thoughts should be put to rest, Johnnys finally free.
Oh Johnny, now you know.
