I wonder which of my friends
Will Give up first
You say it's growing older
But we know much worse
Dreams and aspirations
Flowing down the drain
In a paper basket
Guided by the rain

Well I don't have a backup plan
All I have is in the band
I don't have a backup plan
All I have is in the band
In the band

This will be the final time I relax
Spare another moment
I wish I had back
Promise me
You'll never find a real job
Just keep clinging tighter
To the pile of frogs

Well I don't have a backup plan
All I have is in the band
I don't have a backup plan
All I have is in the band
In the band
Remember when we used to drive by Business Town
Laughing at the sellouts to the corporate crown
Hopefully it doesn't pan out that way
And I can write my dreams upon my resume

Well I don't have a backup plan
All I have is in the band
I don't have a backup plan
All I have is in the band
In the band

I wonder which of my friends
Will give up first
You know it's that much harder
If you are the first
But if your song is over
And you fly away
Keep your paper basket
On the airplane

Well I don't have a backup plan
All I have is in the band
I don't have a backup plan
All I have is in the band
In the band
