The Fifth-Rate Conformist Strikes Back

                Still alive and kickin' in 2023

                 Very happy to be here with friends and family

           Not at the top of the ladder but not stuck on the bottom rung either

                 Got a well rounded life free of secrets and other debilitating diseases

                 Not a day goes by when I don't appreciate how lucky I am

Can't complain about the world because I didn't make it

         Can't complain about the world because I can't take it

                  Can't show you pictures of a wife and children

                            Can't complain of being abandoned

                                     Can't complain that someone who never was 

                                                                Has left me for the yardman

                 Happy to be here to enjoy another day

                                      Rain or shine, miserable or divine

              It makes no difference to me 

                 As long as I'm drawing breath and able 

                                        To appreciate

                                        The Ineffable

                                        Transcendent

                                        Inescapable

                                                 Cosmic

                                        Incredible

                                               Mystery 

                                                  Of it all
