Hell is my backup plan

[Verse]

Passion paralyzes all my good intentions

Now I'm fighting with my body

Just to show you some sort of affection

While you try and call it affliction

I'm just calling it self discipline

While all this downtown negativity's been following me and stalking me

Between the university and Richmond street

Between those cocaine deals and bachelor degrees

I'd say I'm sorry but

[Pre Chorus]

All the girls at this party

They're into drama and Ginsburg and lemon lime Bacardi

They're into Okkervil River

And trying to get to know everybody

Ya I'd say I'm sorry but

[Chorus]

Hell is my backup plan

We're not a band motherfucker we're a gang

So let's hang

'Cause all we want to meet is someone out there with a bit of integrity

Hell is my backup plan

We're not a band, we're nothing man

'Cause all we want to meet is someone out there with a bit of personality

'Cause heaven sounds like it'd be boring for guys like you and me

[Pre Chorus]

All the girls at this party

They're into drama and Ginsburg and lemon lime Bacardi

They're into Arcade Fire

And trying to get to know everybody

[Chorus]

Hell is my backup plan

We're not a band, we're nothing man

And all we want to meet is someone out there with a bit of integrity

Hell is my backup plan

We're not a band motherfucker we're a gang

So let's hang

And all we want to meet is someone out there with a bit of personality

'Cause heaven sounds like it'd be boring for guys like you and me

[Bridge]

All the girls at this party

They're into drama and Ginsburg and lemon lime Bacardi

They're into Elliot Smith

And trying to get to know everybody

So I'm getting Bukowski drunk

I'm falling down man I'm getting myself held up

None of these girls even get how great I was once

And I was pretty fuckin' great

[Chorus]

Hell is my backup plan

We're not a band motherfucker we're a gang

So let's hang

'Cause all we want to meet is someone out there with a bit of integrity

Hell is my backup plan

We're not a band, we're nothing man

And all we want to meet is someone out there with a little personality

'Cause heaven sounds like it'd be boring for guys like you and me

Don't you think?

[Outro]

'Cause heaven seems like it's out of the question

At least with our reputation

Wouldn't you agree?
