Nobody's Plan Lyrics

Well yeah, I had a bad day

I don't wanna talk about it

If you convince me that I've been wronged

Then I'm complicit in the violence

And I am juggling enough

Realities without the weight of this one

Right and wrong fuck off

Because I gotta feed the baby

And I take comfort in the chaos

Knowing none of this was anybody's plan

Well, my friend Tommen fought a war

And most things he don't remember

But some things you don't forget

He thinks about some more than others

Like a sixteen year old kid

Holding his guts in while the mortars

Sure do make an awful din

An anthem celebrating borders

And Tommen curses god in jest

Bemoaning that this was all somebody's plan

Tommen says it must be comforting

To blame god or the devil

But he's seen evil up close

And he says make no bones about it

It's pride, cruelty, and greed

That keeps exclusion profits growing

Populating dehumanization camps

With villains of the week

Serialized twenty four hours

On our favorite scary horror shows

He holds the cross his wife once wore

And tells her that he's sorry

That he didn't kiss her more

And wasn't better than his father

And I take solace in the notion

That all this means something to him

Even thinking that there's nothing for him

On the other side

Tommen falls asleep and looks at peace

Watching those horror shows

And I can't help but thinking it's alright

That none of this was anybody's plan

And I sleep well 'bout every other night

'Cause I'm alright and I have made some plans
