This seems like a sarcastic "Welcome to the Good Times" song. When you're young and dream of reaching goals, you can't account for the effort and pain that it will take to reach them.

For example, you're prepared, work hard and with a fair amount of luck your big dreams come true, but other than not having to worry about money, it totally sucks because you have no life because everybody needs you now that you're important. I'd call that "Welcome to the Good Times - - jokes on you." Hopefully one day you escape with some of the spoils but none of the burden and start anew and find happiness.
