Kevin Devine - You're My IncentiveLyrics

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 The t.v is on But it's always on So it's useless It's 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 gonna be This is how it's gonna be This is how it'll 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 been to church since the 10th grade And 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 I'll just strip away your youth This is how it's gonna be This is how it's gonna be This how this'll be And there's nothing we can do Yeah and if you start believing that I'll stop wasting my time too Yeah and if you start believing that I'll stop wasting my time too 'Cause you're my incentive And if you go, I'll go too
