[Verse]
So I thought I'd learned my lesson
But I secretly expected
A choir at the shore
And confetti through the falling air

[Refrain 1]
I make a living telling people what they want to hear
It's not a killing, but it's enough to keep the cobwebs clear

[Chorus]
'Cause it's not a perfect plan
It's not a perfect plan
But it's the one we got

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
It's not a perfect plan
But it's the one we got

[Refrain 2]
'Cause I make a living telling people what they want to hear
And, boy, I tell you, it's gonna be a champagne year
