Lyrics Either Or - Negativland

Either Or

Either, or
Black, white
I and you, we and you
We get into a loop
Either, or—It's really hard to make decisions about everything
Black, white—so I want to take those things that I do every single day
I and you—and I want to put them in a part of my brain that doesn’t work as hard
This is the correct way (To be fooled)
We and you—We essentially store patterns
We, the crowd—we tend to believe almost all patterns we encounter,
even the false ones
Good and bad—You brain actually stops working so hard when you’re in the middle
of a habit
And we’re not very good at discriminating between true and false patterns
And already you are separated into two camps.
And you are on the point of
fighting over absolutely non-existent differences
And then I tried to figure out what the reward was.
And I thought it was the
cookie…
It doesn’t feel like we’re thinking
