here are the lyrics ... "Left On Man" (Robert Wyatt) from "Dondestan"
http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/w/wyattrobert-dondestan2005.shtml
What we call
Freedom in the north
Means our freedom to
Use you
And if you don't co-operate
We'll cut off your supply lines
But You'll be free
To re-connect
If you beg our forgiveness
You say I
Over simplify
Well yes, so did
Albert Einstein
There simply
Is no middle ground
Pentagon uber alles
There never
Was a middle ground
That's the point I was making
There's no such
Place as middle ground
(That's the point we were making)
Left or Right of the equator
