Try Too Hard Or Phone It In

We all know how losing battles will end
So I can’t find a reason to start one
There are actions I might try to defend
But no reason I give is a smart one

Should I go down attempting a swing
Or is energy meant for conserving
You will hear that you can do anything
But you’ll only get what you’re deserving

As I plan on ways to start what I never begin
I wonder if it’s worse to try too hard or to phone it in
To try too hard or to phone it in
To try too hard or to phone it in

E for effort really isn’t a grade
It’s a letter that no one desires
Play along because that’s how it is played
Roll along ’til you wear out those tires

Do I keep it up or down, where do I leave my chin?
I wonder if it’s worse to try too hard or to phone it in
To try too hard or to phone it in
To try too hard or to phone it in

100 percent or complete indifference
Does it even make a difference?
To give it your all but to show disinterest
Is in everybody’s interest

Do I give my heart and soul or be the man made of tin?
I wonder if it’s worse to try too hard or to phone it in
To try too hard or to phone it in
To try too hard or to phone it in
