Intro.
1): 
Back and forth, and round and round,
Things keep turning upside down.
Exchanging words seems so easy,
Unless your aim is to agree.
Tryin' to get a message across,
But your listeners are at a loss.
Babbling tongues, like writhing snakes.
Make e'en the most intrepid pause and quake, and quake.
Controversy, controversy.*
2): 
Compromise is politics' art,
To guide their way, a devilish craft,
Lip service calms the waves,
Poseidon smiles, withdraws into his cave.
Diplomatic virtues slip,
Where delusions call to be ripped.
Turning 'gainst your closest mate,
When the differences make you so irate, irate.
Controversy, controversy.*
Solo
Controversy, controversy.*
3):
Abject failure to closely look,
When mere opinion will not brook,
And sharpness of the unplacated mind,
Provokes rejection by the mildly inclined.
In controversy lose a friend,
To this there'll be no end.
But in time a message gets through,
Shapes a world for me, for me, and you, and you.
Controversy, controversy.*
