The Flute Misadventure

[Verse] I had some birthday cash, feeling so alive My classmates said, "Hey, let's invest, it's a vibe" Peruvian flute band, they said, the next big thing Little did we know, it'd be quite a fling [Verse 2] We gathered on the corner, started jammin' so tight Everyone was groovin', it felt so right But then the government stepped in, they shut us down Deported to Peru, regrets started to drown [Chorus] Oh, why'd I listen to my friends and their crazy plans? Now I'm stuck in Peru, thrown in a foreign land I should've known better, should've gone solo But I let them lead me to this sorrow [Verse] I had some birthday cash, a spark in my stride Classmates whispered, "Investment, let's ride the tide" Crypto craze they preached, the future's bright they sing But the market plunged, stung by the bear's sharp sting [Verse 2] We huddled in discord, trading through the night Each dip and rise, felt like a cosmic flight Then came the regulators, with their stern crackdown Wallets emptied, dreams scattered, leaving us to drown [Chorus] Oh, why'd I listen to my friends and their crazy plans? Now I'm stuck in Peru, thrown in a foreign land I should've known better, should've gone solo But I let them lead me to this sorrow
