THE ERGS DON'T WORK
(With apologies to The Verve)

All this talk of 2K tests
Is bringing you down with stress
Got a seat in the boat, waiting to go
But you can't face the ergo

And I know you're rating thirty
As you settle on the slide
Now the ergs don't work
They just make you worse
But I hope I'll see you race again

Now the ergs don't work
They just make you worse
But I hope I'll see you race again

Now I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I stopped, just lost my seat
But if I can't ergo, then just let me row
And I'll swing from the hips again

Now the ergs don't work
They just make you worse
But I hope I'll see you race again

'Cause baby, ooh, selection calls, I'm rowing through
Just like you said, you leave my crew, I'm sculling instead

All this talk of 2K tests
Is bringing you down with stress
Got your seat in the boat, waiting to go
But you don't wanna row

Now the ergs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see you race again

'Cause baby, ooh, selection calls, I'm rowing through
Just like you said, you leave my crew, I'm sculling instead

But if you can't ergo, then just let me row
And I'll swing from my hips again

Now the ergs don't work
They just make you worse
But I hope I'll see you race again

Yeah, I know I'll see you race again
Yeah, I know I'll see you race again
Yeah, I know I'll see you race again
Yeah, I know I'll see you race again

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
