From the recording Spuyten Duyvil

Lyrics

Studied real hard
Thinks he may be the real thing
Guy is lit, just won't quit
Doesn't know as much as he might admit
Follows the news
Read some books
Knows some philosophy knows some facts
He follows that playbook
And he's trying really hard
But he can't let down his guard
He knows in his heart
He may fall apart
But he's gotta forge on
Cause he may be the real deal
And he'll figure it out, have no doubt
And someday he'll know what this is all about

But the man has a plan
Thinks if they see him blink
He will surely sink
The man has a plan
He's not with his kind
So he's flying blind
So what is his plan?
No matter who he's around
They just bring him down

Hey he's talking sports
He knows his stats
He's doing fine, he's fitting in
But he's trying really hard not to lose that grin
And he's dreaming big
He'll have his day in the sun
He's making them laugh, hanging with everyone
But somehow he always manages to ruin his fun
And he's still trying hard
Will he ever let down his guard?
Fears he'll crash and burn
And fall apart
But he keeps his head up
Acts real cool
He wants to be seen, for him there's no in between
Either he's hiding out and bumming or he's making the scene

But the man has a plan
Thinks if they see him blink
He will surely sink
The man has a plan
He's not with his kind
So he's flying blind
So what is his plan?
No matter who he's around
They just bring him down

Still the man has a plan
It's probably best he chill
By now he knows the drill
The man has a plan
Whether it's right or wrong
He'll just string along
So what is his plan?
Still doesn't know what to do
But hey, this isn't new
The man's gonna stall
There's no plan after all
