Give me some contention
I need a good head spin
I don't think you can fathom
All the trouble that we’re in
Serve free speech for dinner
Let's cut it to pieces
To divide it among us
And see how far it reaches
If you told me what you thought
Would I be compromised?
And in the heat from your fire
Would I have to pick sides?
If I told you what I thought
Would it pull out your roots?
Would it give you the impulse
To give me the boot?
I am no dogmatist
Man, I just want the truth
If you ban the contention
You are banning the proof
If some opinions are contraband
Then can't I conclude:
If the truth can't defend itself
How is it true?
