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
