which is better
follow it to the letter

be a go getter
or a long gone
singin' a sad song
where do i belong?

got an ex, a former, i love so true
whata' i'm gonna' do?
got a new
but she ain't it,
shit
it just don't fit

so
do you know?
which is better
the former or the latter?
cluster & clatter
in my brain
hurt's my membrane
drive's me insane

can't get what i want
and that do haunt
me
see?
it be what it be.

hurt's my heart
there in that part
i can't re-start

but the new
she be true
makes me blue
'cause i can't un-do
or re-do
or re-think
man, don't that stink

so
which is better...?
the former or the latter
does it really matter?

maybe i oughta' just be alone
cold stone
but alone is so lonely
without my 1 & only
once it's gone
how do ya' sing a new song?

every verse
is a curse
feels wrong
tryin' ta' sing
a new song

where do i belong?
when love has gone
ain't the same song

titty bar's
pool hall's
gone too far's
that be all's
bein' a fool
on some bar stool

so which is better...?
be a go getter
or a let 'er alone
but alone is so lonely
without your 1 & only

only 1 is old
1 is new
what do i do
what i've been told
to thine own self be true

yeah, that's easy for you to say
you don't lay
in my bed at night
without the light
but i did ask you
that's true

so which is better...?
the old or the new
my ? to you
the former or the latter
what does it matter
what would you do?

except feel blue.

and that be true !
