Decisions quick, personality starched
Music is life, volume deafening
Want riches & fame at beginning
Everything starts with I, Me and My

The special beings, destined to rule World
Individuality & Uniqueness, our favorite words

A gossipmonger dropped my news through the funnel

Life isn't fair, everyone admits
It has seldom ups and many lows
Experience asks a lot, many setbacks and blows
Your friends aren't your world whole
Everyone busy to hit his own goal
Have to earn to make a living
No pots of gold there, few upswings
Days are shorter, and nights less sleepy
Once were Salad days, now strange and creepy
