More Than Two
Whenever someone hands me a choice between A and B, I've learned to look for a C. Most either/or choices are a sales trick. That's the whole idea behind widening the grey.
They lay the options on the table, stark and clean and neat
Just A or B, just left or right, just bitter or just sweet
They draw a line right down the middle, say you gotta choose a side
"It's either this or it is that, there's nowhere left to hide!"
They paint it like a crisis, yeah, a ticking, urgent clock
"You gotta make your mind up now, before the final shock!"
It feels so clean, it feels so right, to pick a simple team…
But have you ever stopped to think the choice might be a dream?
'Cause it's a sales trick, honey, it's a pressure and a lie
To make you buy the story that you either live or die
Based on a single, stupid choice they put before your eyes
They're banking on the fact you're too damn scared to realize...
There's always more than two!
Yeah, there's always more than two!
A hidden door, a secret path, a different point of view!
It's not just black or white, my friend, the world is full of hues!
So don't you let them tell you that there's always more than two... ways to lose!
Just gotta look around and find the other thing to do!
There's always more than two!
They say it's love or it is hate, it's failure or success
It's either stand your ground and fight, or crumble in the mess
It's either be the perfect saint, or be the monster deep inside
As if a single human soul has only got two sides
They want to put you in a box, they want to make it clear
So they can sell the antidote to your own, rising fear
But life's a messy, tangled thing, a beautiful mistake
And simple answers are the chains you gotta learn to break
'Cause it's a sales trick, honey, it's a pressure and a lie
To make you buy the story that you either live or die
Based on a single, stupid choice they put before your eyes
They're banking on the fact you're too damn scared to realize...
There's always more than two!
Yeah, there's always more than two!
A hidden door, a secret path, a different point of view!
It's not just black or white, my friend, the world is full of hues!
So don't you let them tell you that there's always more than two... ways to lose!
Just gotta look around and find the other thing to do!
There's always more than two!
So let them draw their battle lines, let them scream and shout
The smartest move is just to find the option they left out
It might be weird, it might be strange, it might not have a name
But it's the only way to win their stupid, broken game
Is just to step outside the box and quietly refuse
To play along with any hand where you're designed to lose!
There's always more than two!
Yeah, there's always more than two!
A hidden door, a secret path, a different point of view!
It's not just black or white, my friend, the world is full of hues!
So don't you let them tell you that there's always more than two... ways to lose!
Just gotta look around and find the other thing to do!
There's always more than two!
More than two... always more than two…
Find the grey... find the green... find the blue…
More than two…
