Lyrics
False Dichotomy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Told we could be who we wanted
Or get what we needed, hey yeah
One and the other competing
Over the meaning, hey yeah
Back when I said that I want it all
This wasn't the point at all
Hostile to that superficial view
Show me something that can't be bought
It's harder to do than I thought
False dichotomy, no choice to choose
When you don't know if you should fall
If there'd be a net at all
Pleasure gets so easily abused
Show me something that can't bе bought
It's harder to do than I thought
False dichotomy, no choice to choosе
Hate
Love
Hate
Love
And when you don't want to chase it
But can't stand to waste it, hey yeah
It's either rags into riches
Or life in the trenches, hey yeah
Back when I said that I want it all
This wasn't the point at all
Hostile to that superficial view
Show me something that can't be bought
It's harder to do than I thought
False dichotomy, no choice to choose
When you don't know if you should fall
If there'd be a net at all
Pleasure gets so easily abused
Show me something that can't be bought
It's harder to do than I thought
False dichotomy, no choice to choose
Hate, love (hate, love)
Hate, love (hate, love)
Hate, love
Hate, love
Hate, love
Hate, love
Hate
Love
Hate
Love
Hate
