I know what I like but it doesn't pay

So I sit behind a desk all day

Ting-a-ling, life goes on

My early potential never delivered on

I'm not denying that the job's satisfying

In its own way, once in a while

But it's not the thing that makes my heart sing

So I won't be going that extra mile

And yeah, sometimes I doubt myself

As my bosses get younger and I'm still on the shelf

Maybe I should do more to get ahead

But instead I'll just lie down and what I made for a bed

I'm a Plan B-er baby

My promise is unfulfilled

I'm a Plan B-er baby

I'm just trying to pay my bills

Some people's dreams come true

Not gonna happen for me or you

We're just gonna have to make do

With Plan B

The sorrows of the workplace

Are etched clearly upon my face

The bad posture, the LED tan

Are not how I imagined myself as a man

Information, trivial and arcane

Occupying whole continents in my brain

It's a shame that its ultimate fruit

Is just more money

For somebody in a suit

Yeah sometimes I doubt myself

As my bosses get younger and I'm still on the shelf

Maybe I could do more to get ahead

But instead I'll just lie down in what I've made for a bed

I'm a Plan B-er baby

My promise is unfulfilled

I'm a Plan B-er baby

I'm just trying to pay my bills

Some people's dreams come true

Not gonna happen for me or you

We're just gonna have to make do

We're all in the rat race but we're not all trying to win it

Our hearts not in it

We're all in the rat race but we're not all trying to win it

Our hearts not in it

We're all in the rat race but we're not all trying to win it

Our hearts not in it, our hearts not in it

We're all in the rat race but we're not all trying to win it

Our hearts not in it, our hearts not in it

I'm a Plan B-er baby

My promise is unfulfilled

I'm a Plan B-er baby

I'm just trying to pay my bills

Some people's dreams come true

Not gonna happen for me or you

We're just gonna have to make do

With Plan B
