not done

where do you get your nerve?
where do you get that grit
you drag us down
you make us quit!

now tell me where do you get that wit?
tell me where do you get that grin?
where do you find the time
the time to smile in our faces
when you're turning around our dime

tell me how do you sleep at night?
how do you continue to fight?
tell me where do you get your nerve.
and pass some to me,
so i can be
as shallow as you
a shallow, shell

no backbone
hopeless.
and yet so strong.
