An IIHIIFIIc tradition: "Goodbye Cruel World, It's Opening Day"

 




The gods place bets with loaded dice,
And all our earthly dreams betray,
But listen to one clown's advice,
Goodbye, cruel world; it’s opening day.

The politicians scrounge for power,
With consequences we shall pay.
But somewhere, it's our finest hour,
Goodbye, cruel world; it's opening day.

Our weary age is full of war,
The daily news brings dark dismay,
So surf the dreams worth living for,
Goodbye, cruel world; it’s opening day.

And there is no joy in Mudville as the mighty Yankees count their money while we faithful wail and gnash our teeth as the losses pile up.
