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

Love

Hate

Love
