5 year plan

[Intro: David Parkin]:
(So if I get into this thing, I'd love to go all the way
I'd love to make it, make it onto that big stage
Have the curtain go up, see... fifteen-hundred expectant faces staring back at me
I don't think there'd be any greater thrill in this world.)

[Verse 1]:
I just want to feel like a normal human being
Is that too much to ask?
I want to be treated the same way everyone else is
But I guess that time has passed

[Chorus]:
I'm ashamed to say it, but my five-year plan is to start writing it out
And I'm ashamed to tell it to my five-year plan, but time is running out

[Verse 2]:
You can tell me what you're meant to
With no soul behind it at all
The backhanded niceties
Are wearing thin and getting old
Say what you really want to
And then we'll see
If you're truly scared
To offend me

[Chorus]:
I'm ashamed to say it, but my five-year plan is to start writing it out
And I'm ashamed to tell it to my five-year plan, but time is running out

[Outro]:
