You can scream and shout with all your might Dig in your heels and hold on tight Either you are wrong or I am right You speak the lines you've overheard The ring of truth in every word You know you're right and that's absurd We really seem to have a problem here But is it you or me? Whatever I have going through my mind You always have to disagree It's just a matter of opinions It's not a simple fact Why don't you try to see the other side? Don't turn your back Now we survey this silent battleground Recriminations all around And still no compromise is found Now we really seem to have a problem And it won't just disappear And all the friends we thought we could rely on Just want to whisper in my ear "It's just a matter of opinions You know you keep both in sight Why should you bother with the other side? When you know yours is right"
