The devastation's reached you, man, take a hit and pass it on 'Cause the sooner you accept it, then the smoother your denouement Look on the plus side, there's now no reason to live You get to start from scratch on a new dream, buddy Unprepared and ill-equipped So Kris, I'm not pissed, I'm remiss I never had a back up plan I don't know what I'll do when the band breaks up again ♪ I bet a lot on myself, I'm caught holding the bag now And my grip on it's slipping every step I can't lie that it's weighing me down, sinking into obscurity It feels good, like we're giving up on the revolution A lullaby tapping on your crib like The devastation's picked you, man, you're gonna have to be strong It's a natural selection and it can never be wrong Look on the plus side, no one will call out your name All best of luck on your next trip, buddy Smile real big for the friends who came Like Kris, I'm not pissed, I'm remiss I never had a backup plan I have no clue what I'll do when the band breaks up again I had one egg in one basket and sat on it like a fool You can bet I'll be a mess when the band breaks up again
