People Like Me

I've never quite followed why arguments rage
They seem to spread wide across every page
From freedom of speech to the age of consent
I'm sure all discussion is really well meant
But surely it's plain as a pikestaff to see
That right-thinking people will always agree
When right-thinking people are people like me?

I've read of the many who never will flinch
In taking a yard when they're offered an inch
The ones who will preach about "sparing the rod"
And argue about the existence of God
But surely we don't have to post a decree
In England, where right-thinking people agree
Where right-thinking people are people like me?

As I understand it, there's been an exchange
On the subject of climate and possible change
All of our media prophets and scribes
Dispatching intelligence out to the tribes
You do not require a Master's degree
When right-thinking people are people who see
That right-thinking people are people like me

So put it behind you, the trouble, the strife
You're frightening the horses, upsetting the wife
With your drugs and your drifters and is there no end?
You'll soon be supporting the right to offend!
So, join me outside, we're in the marquee
You may be surprised at the people you'll see
They're right-thinking people. They're people like me...
