   VERSE 1
  They were doing great they were young and keen, And they sip root beer on the mezzanine
  Coz they settled for less than they wanted
  It was looking good, moving right along, They were their own people singing their own song
  But they settled for less than they wanted
  
  CHORUS 1
  How many people are making plans, no-one else can understand
  How many times can a joker beat an ace
  How does it happen, where does it go, You fire it up, then the engine blows, it's like
  Someone turned a light off, I suppose...
  
  VERSE 2
  Picking the numbers, making the plans
  The future was held in their very hands
  But they settled for less than they wanted
  
  VERSE 3
  He was gonna be big, gonna be a star, But he married a pig cos she had a car
  And they settled for less than they wanted
  He promised her kids and a bigger house, But soon the man became a mouse
  And they settled for less than they wanted
  
  CHORUS 2
  Up in the morning and off to work, Lifting the load for any jerk
  What ever happened to all the plans you had?
  Where's the view, where's the dream, You say you got tired, but what you mean
  Is you got too lazy to stand up straight and scream
  
  VERSE 4
  He had an affair, with the au-pair
  They couldn't be happy, they didn't care
  So they settled for less than they wanted (Oh yeah...)
  
  CHORUS 1
  How many people are making plans, no-one else can understand
  How many times can a joker beat an ace
  How does it happen, where does it go, You fire it up, then the engine blows, it's like
  Someone turned a light off, I suppose...
  
  VERSE 5
  What happened to Billy, what happened to Jane
  Will I ever hang out with the gang again
  Coz they settled for less than they wanted
  They were doing great, they were young and keen
  And they sip root beer on the mezzanine
  Coz they settled for less than they wanted (Oh yeah...)
