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 it is 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 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."
