lyrics

I’ve got this anchor hanging from my stern
A big number that won’t completely burn
It’s a platinum for the ages
In ten years, i’ll get a handshake and a throw ring
And then, they’ll push me off into the sea
But I don’t see all that happening
I’m gonna have to nick the faker
And keep him safe until they call me on the pager

I’m packing up my generator
To make a plan for the future
I’m giving notice to the managers
To make a plan for the future
To make a plan for the future
To make a plan for the future

I built a tube of embryos over the years
Sometimes they go bad, and I have to change the dressings
And your keepers, who think we give it away?!
Teachers on trial, we’re guilty of denial

I am compelled to bow to the suitors
To make a plan for the future
I’m giving notice to the managers
To make a plan for the future
To make a plan for the future
To make a plan for the future
To make a plan for the future
To make a plan for the future

And how do I get through the day?
The mountains keep coming
How do I get through the day?
The next one’s bigger than the last

I lash out at you and you know it makes me sick
Don't know the end game,
End of the days, they grow thick.
Don't want to be pitching tents against the pricks
Or burning fossils to commute from out the sticks

I’m packing up my generator
To make a plan for the future
I’m giving notice to the managers
To make a plan for the future

I’m packing up my generator
To make a plan for the future
I’m giving notice to the managers
To make a plan for the future

To make a plan for the future
To make a plan for the future
To make a plan for the future
To make a plan for the future
