Motivation is a funny thing, a funny thing indeed
It gathers up all my ambitions and sets them on fire in front of me
And potential is a word that you can't spell without potent
Which also describe shit when it's got such a healthy scent
My potential isn't potent like a mighty lion's roar
Which is why I've done nothing all day but lie naked on the floor
If you find my motivation will you kindly let me know
And shove it up my ass and superglue it closed?

Go-on-get-a-move-on-do something productive today
Don't wanna stay in my pajamas the entire fucking day
I'll put down this guitar, and stick it on the shelf
I'll do anything that I gotta do to validate myself
My mental health
And the hand that I've been dealt

Sometimes I think my virtues, are superior to the rest
I'll jump in front of a bullet, but only with a Kevlar vest
My fearlessness and recklessness go often hand in hand
But my fearlessness is bullshit, I'm afraid of what I am
Feasible and reasonable are completely different things
It's the difference between fulfillment and dying of fatigue
I've been told my actions will speak much louder than my words
So I've finished up my seconds now I'm heading back for thirds

Go-on-get-a-move-on-do something productive today
Don't wanna stay in my pajamas the entire fucking day
I'll put down this guitar, and stick it on the shelf
I'll do anything that I gotta do to validate myself
My mental health
And the hand that I've been dealt

If I could fake this ennui do you really think I would?
I've had the shit kicked out of me by all the woulda coulda shoulds
La felicidad es temporal. Eso es lo que dicen los sabios.
Pero lo quiero todo el tiempo, así que voy a decir adiós
There is no instant gratitude, while this just a hunch,
My proverbial rainy day became a realistic rainy month
My days are like an apple, no make that an apple core
My sweetest parts are chewed off then I'm thrown down to the floor

Go-on-get-a-move-on-do something productive today
Don't wanna stay in my pajamas the entire fucking day
I'll put down this guitar, and stick it on the shelf
I'll do anything that I gotta do to validate myself
My mental health
And the hand that I've been dealt
