Elliott Smith — 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
