about

Politics is not a football game.

lyrics

If I could speak candidly for a moment –
if I could talk, sans ridicule or shame
could I count - on you to listen –
then make your own decision
or would that mean - I'd be the one to blame
The other side - is not the world's great evil
just because - their methods disagree
they're trying to - change the world for the better
even you - should respect that at least
If I might talk - a minute about motive (what would you think)
If I might suggest - that there is no crime
do you need - a conspiracy - to validate - your belief
in your side - and in your country's shame?
You've picked a side - it colors your perception
us versus them - is that the way to think?
or understand - what either side's believing?
are you thinking - independently?
If I might talk - a minute about options (would you hate me)
If I might suggest - that neither side is right
If their quest - for the election - They'd say anything to win
maybe we - should reconsider that?
You might wonder - what it is I'm after
I don't need - to change your point of view
I just want - to end your smugness -
you're not SO RIGHT - that view is pointless
There is no debate - if there is no doubt
If I could be in your shoes for an hour –
If I could be in your shoes for a day
maybe I could make a difference –
then I could sort out which is
really right - from what is not so tame
If I... If I... If I... If ...
