Your bearings are shot and your car don't work like she used to
|
Your friends don't call and they don't even bother with offering excuses
|
Your TV is on, but it's always on, so it's useless
|
Just the awful news and the sorry truth that we're definitely sinking
|
|
So I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you
|
You'll just hurt your chest and your face'll turn bright blue
|
This is how it's gonne be, and there's nothing that we can do
|
And if you start believing that I'll stop holding my breath too
|
|
You've been praying for change but you ain't seen a church since the 10th grade
|
You cry at your job, don't believe in your vote, and never celebrate your birthday
|
So you set up a dinner to make you feel less desperate, and worthless
|
But your dad gets drunk so your mom throws a fit while your man hits on the waitress
|
|
So I wouldn't waste my time if I were you
|
You'll just snap your spine and strip away your youth
|
This is how it's gonne be, and there's nothing that we can do
|
And if you start believing that I'll stop wasting my time too
|
Because you're my incentive
|
And if you go, I go too
|

You're My Incentive
