You're strong, you're stubborn now
In an endless symbolic war
Brave or bored, either/or
Sometimes I ricochet from the past
And at times a future Ive already had before
Champion or chore, either/or
; Below]
Ill write the pages you rip out, back in their places again
One day youll know what youre talking about
I can hardly imagine, but until then Ill be
Filling in these blanks that you create
Every time you win some petty score
Posing as hardcore, oh yeah, either/or
Look at the spin chief, battered and broken
]
Clutching a plastic rose
Were all in the downpour you carry around for
Trashing a lifestyle youve never known
Its a useful dream that makes
Quite an entertaining show and not much more
Up against and for, either/or
