Graham Parker - Stick to the Plan lyrics

Hurricanes are howlin' up the florida coast Leaving the beach towns dead as a ghost 24 inches of rain in a matter of days The governor says that it's god's will That's what he says Mudslides are runnin' down the hill to the town Knocking the telegraph poles to the ground Panic in pennsylvania That's what they fear But this has nothing to do with what We're putting in the atmosphere Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Stick to the plan Stick to the plan Keep your finger on the trigger Stick to the plan Don't pay no attention to what the experts say Too much intelligence gets in the way Yeah it gets in the way You know it gets in the way And if you wanna be happy Be like forrest gump everyday Put on your uniform and go to the front Don't be too sensitive That's a stunt you don't need When you're stripping them naked And attaching the wires Because it's only a frat party And all arabs are liars Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Stick to the plan Stick to the plan Keep your finger on the trigger Stick to the plan Well god said to the president listen to me I will advise you on the way it's gonna be So the president got to his knees And accepted his fate It's a done deal now if you got Some objections too late Meanwhile in the corner there's A drunk on a stool Slurpin' up ketchup and acting the fool Pretending to fight for the truth But he ain't getting far Because he's workin' for the same team Just from the other side of the bar Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Stick to the plan Stick to the plan Keep your finger on the trigger Stick to the plan Back in the schoolhouse they been cutting the cla**es Time is running backwards and the teacher wears gla**es But she only sees the back of her head Not what's in front of her eyes She brought jesus out of hock and Put mary on the side with some fries Meanwhile in the closet there's a funny little man With a bunsen burner and a pen in hand Writing his theory and checking his chemistry set But it's only a theory so don't place any bets yet Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Stick to the plan Stick to the plan Keep your finger on the trigger Stick to the plan Over in the monkey house someone got silly Playing hanky panky with a preacher named billy And the tv crews caught it all for posterity son But it didn't make the nightly news It was too much fun Inside the airport every worker wears a turban At the check point they're stripping a suburban Couple of all their clothes and smelling their feet But they found out the odor of stupidity isn't too sweet Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Good things are coming if we stick to the plan Stick to the plan Stick to the plan Keep your finger on the trigger Stick to the plan
