Lyrics I Quit - Brendan Benson

I Quit

I’ve been fighting the good fight
Just trying to get it right
And I was onto something good
Somewhere in the neighborhood
Every time I try to make it good, I make it worse
Get the Engine running, but I put it in reverse
And half the time I lose the plot and I can’t see the point of it
And if that’s all to a fire, then I quit
There I was in the Headlights
Mesmerized by the mirror sight
There was this time I had it made
I got lucky in my early days
But I feel fine, it’s a fine day
And I’ve got green lights all the way
I wanna know what it’s all about
And you can bet that I’m sure gonna find out
Every time I try to make it good, I make it worse
Get the Engine running, but I put it in reverse
I always want it less and less the closer I get
If that’s all there is to a fire, then I quit
Run run rabbit run until you drop
Don’t slow down, don’t ever stop
Tell me where have all the artists gone?
They’ve moved on cause the feeling’s gone
Every time I try to make it good, I make it worse
Get the Engine running, but I put it in reverse
You’re gonna wake up someday and wonder if this is it
And if that’s all there is to a fire, then I quit
Every time I try to make it good, I make it worse
Get the Engine running, but I put it in reverse
Half the time I lose the plot and I can’t see the point of it
And if that’s all to a fire, then I quit
