21) Dangerous Idea

Well, I hope that you'll forgive me
for not jumping off this fence
but I've seen your facts and figures
and I'm still not convinced.

and you've repeated your conclusions
and the methods that you used
and you keep walking me through it,
but it's not that I'm confused

(chorus)
and I know that you think
that I must see the light
but the most dangerous idea
is that only one is right.

You say the truth is on your side
and I'll accept it in due course,
and even though that will not happen,
you just keep applying force.

and I agree that it's your right
to think the way you do
it's just you will not let me leave here
until I think just like you.

(chorus)

(bridge)
Now you should listen to that James Brown line,
'cause you got yours,
but you still worry 'bout mine
And I've got no need to force you to agree
but I must insist that you extend
the same courtesy to me

Because I do not accept
your world of absolutes,
and I can say "live and let live",
but you just will not follow suit.

What I really do believe
is that we could get on fine
if you believe in your beliefs
and let me believe mine.

(chorus)
