Originally released on the Grass Roots Records Family Album in 2006.

lyrics

"It is time to take a side!"
"then it's time for me to hide,
I am neutral and that's frowned on where I'm from"

"Do you not know wrong from right?"
"I know right don't pick a fight,
then there's process of elimination"

"And if you fought the law?"
"they'd insist it was a draw,
meanwhile I'd be innocent and so declared"

"By a jury of your peers?"
"it would take them thirty years
just to round up twelve fine fakers who compare"

"Yeah, but what you're proposing
seems ill-conceived at best
all due respect
but I really must protest"

"Must you insist on proof"
"what I believed in youth
has been shown to be naïve after some time"

"You must be kidding me"
"but it's not so simple, see,
you've got your wrong opinion, I've got mine"

"Yeah, but what you're proposing
seems ill-conceived at best
all due respect
but I really must protest
your policies are flawed
and your reasoning absurd
in spite of all you've caused
you are proudly undeterred"

"I believe it's black and white"
"yeah well I thought you just might,
shades of gray would be too much for you to stand"

"I doubt you could do as well"
"by the time it went to hell
all your heads were plunged so sweetly into sand"
