Lyrics
Think about it with an open mind
Encouraging open-mindedness when considering a topic
If you do I think you might find
Suggesting that an open mind may reveal something valuable
There's no need to be so unkind
Advising against unkindness, especially towards those with unconventional ideas
To someone with a bad idea
Referring to someone with a non-conventional or unpopular idea
I know that we're beating the odds
Acknowledging the challenging nature of their circumstances
Just by being alive
Highlighting the rarity and preciousness of life itself
Not saying we should break any laws
Rejecting the idea of breaking laws, emphasizing a principled stance
I ain't afraid of nothing 'cause I know I got nothing to hide
Expressing fearlessness due to having nothing to hide
You might say, born stuck in my ways
Acknowledging a resistance to change or being set in one's ways
And you might be, somebody just like me
Suggesting that the listener might share similar qualities
If all the news that I read is free
Questioning the authenticity or reliability of the news
I can make my own reality
Empowering the idea of creating one's own reality
One and one could never make three
Rejecting the notion that incompatible elements can harmonize
But they tell me that the times have changed
Being informed about societal changes and challenges
I know that we're beating the odds
Reiterating the improbable nature of their existence
Just by being alive (being alive)
Reemphasizing the value of being alive against the odds
Not saying we should break any laws
Restating the rejection of breaking laws as a principle
I ain't afraid of nothing cause I know I got nothing to hide
Reiterating fearlessness due to transparency and honesty
You might say, born stuck in my ways
Repeating the acknowledgment of being resistant to change
You might be, somebody just like me
Suggesting that the listener may indeed be similar to the speaker
