Without a Plan



Is there any wisdom in that
I think we’ve seen enough of that
We have grown, but here we stand
Out on our own without a plan

Is there any truth to what’s on the news
Are we hearing all lies in drunk alibies
Or are we all wrong, and they are all right
Hearing this song while watching newsreels all night

Are there any realists anymore
Or are we all redacted to these four walls
Have we lost our ways in old Shakespeare plays
Will we come along like the words to a song

Is there any truth to what’s on the air
Is this wishful thinking, does anyone care
Did we get this all wrong, are they always right
Trying to get along while the helpless take flight

Is there any wisdom in this
I think we’ve seen enough of this
We stood our ground, but here we stand
Out on our own, without a plan
