Testo di 'You're My Incentive' di Kevin Devine

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
