    Lyrics :::
    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 be bought
    It’s harder to do than I thought
    False dichotomy, no choice to choose
    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

      Back to the 80s.... New Listener.... Thankyou for great music. Music that is so full of nostalgia yet is fresh and clean. Your voice is so smooth. You guys really are talented. It's refreshing to have some good music for a change with real meaning and thought verses all the garbage Hollywood is dumping out.

    I absolutely *love* this song! The title alone is bloody perfect. I'm kind of amazed that someone wrote a song about false dichotomy / dichotomies. I clearly shouldn't be, but, I've been spending too much time listening to either very well-known / overplayed music OR listening to pre-1900s OR very obscure music (not indie ... more like "pansori-jazz" and various random stuff I've tended to just stumble upon ... not so intentionally sought out).
    Bloody brilliant! The ideas / theme is very interestingly captured, IMO. Can't really put together a better comment, myself, right now, I guess. But, wanted to write something because I absolutely *love* this!

      Siempre van a Mexico . Pero si nos merecemos una gira completa . Los vi en NY cuando hicieron dupla con Zoe. Luego fueron a Mexico para el cierre de la gira de Zoe
