MAX MCGEE'S PROFILE

Quiet desperation, it ain't my goddamn scene.
i don't know if you can follow me, but let's see.
My friends! To the wine, to the stage!
If you all squander your precious beautiful days,
well that would make you a sucker, you don't want to be a sucker, do you?

To the quitters and the complainers,
if we never meet again, remember when.

They lost their nerve
They just went straight
They didn't have the balls to hold it down and they brought everybody else right down with them.
While clowns must stand.

We'll make a toast to absent friends and better days,
To remembering and being remembered as brave
And not as a bunch of whining jerks!

Don't lose your nerve.
Do not go straight
You must testify (or I'm going to come to your house and punch you in the mouth)
cause clowns must stand.
