Matter of Degree

No matter what you say or do...
not everyone will agree with you.
It's a matter of degree.

There are those that will agree...
there are those that will not agree.
It's a matter of degree.
 
It won't always even out at fifty-fifty
as far as I am able to see.
It's a matter of degree.

Our democracy has those who are right...
but we just hear about what is left.
It's a matter of degree.

Oh, I hear what's right a lot of times. Why only yesterday I got a call from a guy said he was right and stood for the Conservative Majority, whatever that is. Anyway this robot telephone call came from some trumped up guy who said he stood for what was right and something about, "bringing our country back."

Where did our country go? As far as I know, it didn't go anywhere. I'm still in it. So, I don't just hear leftovers. I read a lot of righteous right, right here.
