Listener My Five Year Plan
Trouble will find you she's an awfully cunning bird.
and progress it blinds you it's in every lesson
learned.
Failure leaves more room for improvement masquerading
as time well spent.
Honesty is a noble tool I'm gonna learn to use it
wisely.
Reason outweighs the rules when I lead with you behind
me.
Loyalty sadly held prisoner and pity is her only
visitor.
I want to live for a living, buddy I want to live for a
living my five year plan.
Well I'm going to iron out all of life's disappointing
wrinkles.
Cover them with plastic when it pours we won't feel he
sprinkles.
and of course I want to grow but brother this is all I
know.
I want to live for a living.
I want to live for a living my five year plan.
I've given my all, it's all that I have.
I've given my all my all my all my five year plan.
We'll build a tiny quiet god to hold us console us, and
buy a house that's made of hate.
It will burn you and turn you.
Practice makes a path towards a new start.
I'll pack the ice around my stone heart.
Accomplishment is the cross we'll bear I'll wear it
like a coat.
All dressed up in achievement responsibility around my
throat.
Squinting hard to see the finish line with one eye on
the bottom line.
I want to live for a living I'm gonna live for a living
my five year plan.
My five year plan.
My five year plan.
Hindsight is a priceless jewel but I've never been one
for clarity.
I'm gonna hold fast to all I know even if it's just
barley.
and of course I want to grow, but sister this is all I
know.
I'm gonna live for a living.
I'm gonna live for a living my five year plan.
My five year plan.
My five year plan.
I've given my all, it's all that I have.
I've given my all my all my all my five year plan.
