Jack Stafford - In My Opinion Lyrics

My opinion
Is what people pay me for
I don't think I know anymore
Than you or anyone else

My opinion
Is for the gullible
I'm not culpable
Just an actor playing a part

I tell people what they want to hear
An affirmation of their own ideas

And in a world of minions
Under dominion
You need strong opinions
Lightly held

My opinion
Maybe overkill
But it pays my bills
Which is more than you can say for yours

My opinion
Brings in advertising
Which sells people other things
The secret cycle is shuddering

I'm an illustrator that is all
The picture that I paint must be colourful

And in a world of minions
Under dominion
You need strong opinions
Lightly held

And in a world of minions
Under dominion
You need strong opinions
Lightly held

Take what I say with a pinch of salt
The actions of others are not my fault
Can I be blamed for behaviour or refusal to think?
If someone pours you poison do you drink?

And in a world of minions
Under dominion
You need strong opinions
Lightly held
