75: THE PLAN
The price, that we could not pay, not nice, I'm ashamed to say
All the ways I thought I'd feel this
Day I was gonna
Forget all my debts
And pay all my bills
But what do you bet I get nailed
By the same old business man and
Jailed for the crime
Of inventing a reason
That could lead to trouble
If it becomes treason to say
All the things you could have got
Away with if you'd have been
On a planet where
No one will do you in
And no one wants you to fail
I trust, an eternal plan, you just, imagine if you can, please
All the things that bring us to our
Knees when there's trouble
And no one's forgiven
The taxes go double
But some people living believe
There's a place where all of us can
Bathe in the water
That flows on forever
With our Holy Father
We'll all come together and sing
Through the universe our praise will
Ring out a song
Of joy peace and gladness
Say it won't be long
Till there's no more sadness or pain
Grow old, do the best you can, behold, the eternal plan
