Lyrics
What's your motivation, is it slow or is it fast?
Do you chase your tail around?
Do you quit or come in last?
Do you count up all your winnings at the end of every day?
Or do you think of all the instruments you never learned to play?
What if you were hungry, but the only food you had
Was the memory of stale love from relationships gone bad?
Would you warm it in the oven, would you choose to eat it raw?
Would you spread it with a butter knife, or would you cut it with a saw?
There's a scarecrow in the first row, but the birds don't seem to care
They've been standing on his shoulders, they've been pulling on his hair
If he don't do something quick, he's gonna lose all of his straw
He says, "They don’t even care I'm a scarecrow, there ought to be a law!"
So, what's your motivation, is it slow or is it fast?
Do you chase your tail around?
Do you quit or come in last?
Do you count up all your winnings at the end of every day?
Or do you think of all the instruments you never learned to play?
