A five-year plan?
Like I run some kind of country
Like my name is on the factory
my kids run into the ground
Then, the town
they decapitate my statue
but I'm still looking right at you
as they kick my head around
Don't stall
but I keep begging you to listen
something about how traditions
are just pathologies
You had a thought
that there's the road and then there's prison
But that's the thing about fan fiction
all the characters have peaked
You can tell everyone that it's your song
or you can pick
most things only happen once
But then more things aren't
a bachelorette party district
We're almost home, babe
but this is just a car commercial
there's the sun and there's the dapple
and the course is always closed
Through it all,
I think I'm right back in the saddle
A new lease is half the battle
Then take an airbag to the nose
You can tell everyone that it's your song
or you can pick
most things only happen once
But then more things aren't
a bachelorette party district
