I used to be perfect, back in the day.
I knew what to do, I knew what to say.
Had the beast on the leash, the wolves were at bay.
Built my own legend, then I threw it away.
It's just the system; I'm not to blame.
I called for back-up, but nobody came.
Took too many chances, though I deny it was fraud.
My intentions were good, but my logic was flawed.
Sooner or later, you're gonna get caught.
If you don't do it right, all is for naught.
You may get only one, so make it your best shot.
But don't claim that you did, when in fact, you did not.
Tornadoes, ice storms, lay-offs and worse: stuff happens that you can't control; just got to roll with the punches. But it's a lot more of a shame when you have nobody to blame but yourself.
