Either / Or
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 I've already had before
Champion or chore
Either or
I'll write the pages you rip out
Back in their places again
One day you'll know what you're talking about
I can hardly imagine
But until then I'll 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
We're all in the downpour you carry around for
Trashing a lifestyle you've never known
It's a useful dream that makes
Quite an entertaining show
And not much more up against and for
Either or
In an endless symbolic war
Brave or bored
Either or
Sometimes I ricochet from the past
And at times, a future I've already had before
Champion or chore
Either or
I'll write the pages you rip out
Back in their places again
One day you'll know what you're talking about
I can hardly imagine
But until then I'll 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
We're all in the downpour you carry around for
Trashing a lifestyle you've never known
It's a useful dream that makes
Quite an entertaining show
And not much more up against and for
Either or
