What’s the incentive to try You know I’m tired of trying Bored with lying and scared of dying [Verse 2] You talk of mods and rockers and of street corner fights And made you say they’re testing baby weapons all night [Chorus] So why bother? What’s the incentive to try You know I’m tired of trying Bored with lying and scared of dying [Verse 3] The fascists horrify you they’re a sin and a shame Discrimination immigration and what’s in a name [Chorus] But why bother? Man what’s the incentive to try You know I’m tired of trying Bored with lying and scared of dying [Verse 4] You cry about the teenagers for breaking your rules It don’t occur to you you never built enough schools [Chorus] But why bother? / Man what’s the incentive to try You know I’m tired of trying Bored with lying and scared of dying [Verse 5] What do you want me to do? Am I expected to grow up into something like you? Now what the hell do you want me to do eh eh? [Chorus] Why bother? What’s the incentive to try You know I’m tired of trying Bored with lying and scared of dying [Outro] Why won’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?

Cette chanson exprime un profond ras-le-bol face aux attentes et aux jugements de la société. Elle évoque la fatigue de ceux qui essaient de s'adapter aux normes imposées, tout en soulignant une lassitude face aux mensonges et à la peur de mourir. L'artiste questionne l'intérêt de se battre pour plaire aux autres, se sentant pris au piège dans un monde où il semble difficile de trouver sa place. Le contexte semble résonner avec les préoccupations contemporaines sur l'identité et la pression sociale, mettant en lumière les conflits entre générations et les désillusions face à un avenir incertain. Cela résonne particulièrement dans une époque où les jeunes cherchent leur voie dans un environnement souvent oppressant.
