The best-laid plans of minister and man
Cockatoo in god-forsaken land
Have everything you need
The finest finery
Two days of every week
Are yours alone to keep
The longer that you stay
The more that slips away
Yeah, the best-laid plans of minister and man
Cockatoo in god-forsaken land
Come back here tonight
To get the readings right
And if you want your pay
Well, you won't be sick today
So labor endlessly
And embrace mortality
Oh, the best-laid plans of minister and man
Cockatoo in god-forsaken land
The best-laid plans of minister and man
Cockatoo in god-forsaken land
The best-laid plans of minister and man
Cockatoo in god-forsaken land
