Manfred Mann - Tired of Trying, Bored with Lying, Scared of Dying Lyrics

Lyrics Tired of Trying, Bored with Lying, Scared of Dying - Manfred Mann



All you 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 with mods and rockers in the street corner fights
And then you say "they're destined bending weapons all night"
So why bother?
What's the incentive to try?
Well, 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?
God, you know I'm tired of trying
Bored with lying and scared of dying
Woah
You cry about the teenagers for breaking your rules
It don't occur to you, you never built enough schools?
And why bother?
Man, what's incentive to try?
Well, you know I'm tired of trying
Bored with lying, and scared of dying
What do you want me to do?
Am I expected to grow up into something like you?
So what the hell do you want me to do?
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
And why bother?
Man, what's incentive to try?
Don't you know I'm tired of trying
Bored with lying, and scared of dying?
Why won't you tell me, why bother?
(You know I'm tired of trying)
Oh, 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)
Oh, don't you know that I've tried
I'm so tired in bed, I'm scared
