If you want my love tomorrow
You better give it up today
'cause I ain't making many plans anymore
And I don't know how long I'll stay
Well, I felt like losing
Was the only thing I could do
Rebel rocket came screaming at me
Said "pack up shop and look at the view"
Now I'm like a jetplane
And I don't know my brothers
I don't know their pain
But each one will tell you
The same damn thing
"Life is like a jetplane"
"The idea of tomorrow
Is like powder from a gun
The villain comes to town
and shoots the mama down
And still her kids they know "time to run"
Life is like a jet plane
