OPPOSE IT Aug. 28/85 Karl Rigelhof

CHORUS:
Opposites attract
Dislikes repel
Composites subtract
Alikes compel

What is the opposite of opposite
What is in a name
When is a rose not a rose
It is all the same


CHORUS:
Opposites distract
Dislikes foretell
Composites retract
Alikes dispel

What is the antidote to hate
What is it called
When is it not our fate
To let the vision fall


CHORUS:
Opposites contact
Dislikes will swell
Composites react
Time it will tell

What is the inverse of the square
What is the total sum
When will it/we finally get there
To know what it's/we've become


CHORUS:
Opposites are abstract
Dislikes as well
Composites retract
Alikes must sell

What is the reverse of our roles
Why do we take the/a back seat
When will we not sell our souls
And not admit (any/to) defeat


CHORUS:
Opposites detract
Dislikes fell
Composites contract
Alikes do quell

Disagreements on points of view
Debating whether or not it's true
Arguments serve to misconstrue
Creating tension(s) that can(no)'t continue
