Manfred Mann - Tired of Trying, Bored With Lying, Scared of Dying lyrics

Oh you who try to order me and say what I'll do i know you want the world to be exactly like you but why bother what's the incentive to try you know I'm tired of trying bored with lying and scared of dying You talk of mods and rockers and of street corner fights and then you sit at desks inventing weapons all night so why bother what's the incentive to try you know I'm tired of trying bored with lying and scared of dying the fascists horrify you they're a sin and a shame discrimination immigration what's in a name and why bother man, what's the incentive to try you know I'm tired of trying bored with lying and scared of dying wow! you cry about the teenagers for breaking your rules it don't occur to you you never built enough schools but why bother what's the incentive to try you know I'm tired of trying bored with lying and scared of dying what you want me to do? I'm not expecting to grow up into something like you now what the hell do you want me to do why bother man, what's the incentive to try you know I'm tired of trying bored with lying and scared of dying why don't you tell me why bother (you know I'm tired of trying) why bother (you know I'm bored with lying ) hey tell me why bother (you know I'm scared of dying) why do I have to keep on trying (you know I'm tired of trying) don't you know that I'm tired (you know I'm bored with lying ) so tired yeah I'm scared I'm bored (you know I'm scared of dying) I'm sorry tell me tell me why bother
