The Academy Is: The Phrase That Pays

My eyes can't believe what they have seen
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow
I'm going to ask you a series of questions
And I want them answered on the spot, right now

Is it serious?
I'm afraid it is
Am I gonna die?
Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day
But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours

Some things I may have taken for granted again and again
Well here's what was said then

Hold your head high, heavy heart
So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning

I never tried to make the best of my time
When I thought that I had plenty of it
Is this serious?
I don't know what to think
Is it all a lie?
Well one thing is for sure
I'm taken back to the glory days
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say

Now my life is one big make it or break it

Hold your head high, heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after
So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big, planning something big

So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning

Hold your head high, heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after
So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big, planning something big

So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning
