"No plan survives contact with the enemy" - Helmuth von Moltke the Elder, a 19th-century Prussian field marshal
Featuring:
Bill Hafener - Lead Guitar
Dan Gallagher - Bass
Lyrics:
I hear that is gonna again rain on Sunday
I could have sworn you promised me some sun
I’ll go to bed to get up early on Monday
And head to work just like everyone
I can’t believe this has happened to me
I’m just another ordinary man
but I have a plan
I’m gonna change everything on Tuesday
Just for the sake of change itself
I when I get bored some time on Wednesday
I’ll take to old ways off the shelf
Gonna write my story down on Thursday
Just to see if anybody cares
And by the time I get beck here on Friday
I’ll have a collection of vacant stares
Peace on earth and mercy mild
Is it worth the sacrifice
Lesson learned as a child
Questioning all their advice
What's the point of honesty
In this system of contempt
Is it the best policy
Or just my naive last attempt
To hold on to what is true
And believe in the song and dance
To somehow break fully through
And believe I have a chance
So I’m gonna make my move on Saturday
This very well might be my last one
‘Cause I hear it’s gonna rain again on Sunday
I could have sworn you promised me some sun
