[Verse 1]

Please tell me why are we trying so hard

Why worry?

It's over

We always fall right back

To where we start

[Chorus]

There goes another one of our

Sure-fired plans

It backfired again

We try to think it through

The best that we can

I bet it's going to backfire again

[Verse 2]

Take what is given you

How does that sound?

Everything is all thought through and fool-proof

Now watch it all crumble down and down again

[Chorus]

There goes another one of our

Sure-fired plans

It backfired again

We try to think it through

The best that we can

I bet it's going to backfire again

[Bridge:]

Knives don't carry laws that vary

They're just what we fall on

Self-made coffins, scars are talking

Tell us where we are

Where we are now (Where we are now)

Where we are now (Where we are now)

They all, they all, they all are talkin'

They all, they all, they all will tell another story

[Chorus]

There goes another one of our

Sure-fired plans

It backfired again

We try to think it through

The best that we can

I bet it's going to backfire again
