[It's too much. Or not enough.
Maybe this whole goddamn song's messed up.
And anyway, maybe this is just another waste of time.
Waiting 'round for something better.
Analyzing every letter.
Flitting back and forth, every chord and every half-assed rhyme.]
'Cos it's one thing, or another.
I don't even know why I bother.
[These knobs and dials define]
[my whole life.]
'Cos it's one thing, or another.
I don't even know why I bother.
[All that I say is fucking trite.]
Consider the possibility that you've been had, but not by me.
[I'm no kid.
Then stop acting like it.
This course has long since been retired.
So from now on I'll (you'll) deny it.
"I don't care." "It's all good."
(Say it's all good. Say you don't care.)
"I ended up right where I knew I would."
(Pretend that there's life still behind your stare.)]
'Cos it's one thing, or another.
I don't even know why I [(you)] bother.
[But don't you dare pity me.
(The darkness lies, still and deep.)
Can't you see
that it's one thing, or another?
I don't even know why I (you) bother.
This is just apathy.]
[I'm sick, and tired,
of holding fire
when all I feel is violence.]
And I'm only happy when
[all I see is the back of my eyelids;
black, immaculate, patterned silence.]
'Cos it's one thing, or another.
I don't even know why I [(you)] bother.
[When will this finally cease?]
'Cos it's one thing, or another.
I don't even know why I [(you)] bother.
[All I know will soon turn to dust.
And yet you claim my apathy's not just.]
