Lyrics Graham Parker

Graham Parker

Stick to the Plan

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 classes

Time is running backwards and the teacher wears glasses

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
