So listen up now degenerate masses,
You aint gonna learn it in your high school classes,
Cause it aint written down and you know that's its true,
There's a lot of famous people with less talent than you,
Well fame they say can be a serious earner,
So put your great unknown on the afterburner,
The story so far is one hell of a mess,
So come on let me lead you through the wilderness,
I'm a man with a plan.
The come from all over saying "Help me Please",
I cant see the wood for the proverbial trees,
It aint as simple as a line and a compass,
Always shadows in the alley getting ready to jump us,
The trick is to look straight ahead and not be blinded
The people at the top don't need to be reminded,
There only as good as there last idea,
A future guaranteed - get outa here
I'm a man with a plan.
So all you out there waiting on tables,
Jamming up traffic, or laying down cables,
Tune into the plan on the broadcast news,
Stop wasting your time looking for clues,
'Cos there aint no need for you to scrape and suffer,
wise up man, get hipper, get tougher,
everybody can play in the illusion game,
Take one step forward when you hear this name,
I'm a man with a plan.
(Yeah)
(Something you can understand)
(Do ya know one thing)
(Guess what)
I'm a man with a plan, take a step back man
I'm a man with a plan
