This song is such a great metaphor for life in general....

I've Had It



We made it down to New York
With everything intact
But as for getting back
It was Boo who made the joke
They don't give you any hope
But they'll leave you plenty of rope

And Dan came in from Jersey
He went to get the drums
And if Buddy ever comes
We can get it off the ground
I hope someone's coming down
Else I can't see hanging around

Oh, experience is cheap
If that's the company you keep
And a chance is all that I need
And I've had it

I've had it

So we all just started playing
And then something strange occured
Not a person stirred
Oh, it started out one way
But it turned out to be okay
And I felt somebody should say

Oh, experience is cheap
If that's the company you keep
And before you know that it's free
You've had it

You've had it

Like most amazing things
It's easy to miss
And easy to mistake
For when things are really great
It just means everything's in its place

When everything was over
And we loaded up the van
I turned and said to Dan
Dan, I guess this is our prime
Like they tell us all the time
Were you expecting some other kind

Oh, experience is cheap
If that's the company you keep
And I'll never get that disease
'Cause I've had it

I've had it

I guess I've had it...
