My favorite peice of advice from the song "Everyones free (to wear sunscreen)" was "Accept certain inalienable truths; prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders."  I think its a very ironic peice of knowledge, and that remembering that all of this has and will continue to be true throughout history would keep a person from believing that there was some kind of socialcatacalisimic collapse, and thus becoming a complete pessimist as many old people have.

If I had to write a peice of advice for this song , it would probably go along the lines of "You may be lucky in life, but always remember to quit when your ahead."  That applies mostly to gambling, but to pretty much every risk oriented activity.  Even criminal activies.
