"Selling acid was a bad idea, and selling it to a cop was a worse one."

I decided to take the phrase from the song "Fall of the Star High School Runningback" by the Mountain Goats. The song talks about how a high school football star injures his knee and then makes all sorts of new friends, people he used to look down on, and then one day he gets an idea (symbolized by the lightbulb) to sell acid to make a lot of money. unfortunately, the idea went south (symbolized by the lightbulb not being on, and also being the dark shadow) when he sold it to an undercover cop, and was put in jail.

the end.
