Taylor's own recording was released on his 1979 album Flag along with "Brother Trucker", which Taylor also wrote for Working. It has also been covered by other artists, including Bette Midler, Emmylou Harris, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Warnes and Francis Cabrel. According to Taylor, he was inspired to write the song quickly one night at his home in Martha's Vineyard, "about six feet" from where he wrote his earlier song "Secret O' Life".

Left or right, pick a side
Match the corresponding picture with the corresponding lie
Come on in, give it a try
It won't take long for you to see through the disappointing guise
But what's the point of expression
If it's always a reflection of what you think I meant
I really need to study up on that
I've got no opinion without the facts
If ignorance is bliss
Take out my brain, I'd rather have my memory lapse
What the f*ck is the point
Are you really a quitter
Playing devils advocate just to disappoint
You're just a fence sitter. All alone
Who are you with
Pick a side
You can't keep giving the same answer
Never making a decision
Being comfortable with being terrified
How do you feel about this and that
What's your take on politics, are you a Democrat
Do I pray for happiness, or hate my enemies
Share my thoughts, or just complain incessantly
I'll start by ruining your point of view
Make you feel bad, and then agree with you
A clock whose second hand goes in reverse
Keeping time in my own universe
What the f*ck is the point
Are you really a quitter
Playing devils advocate just to disappoint
You're just a fence sitter
All alone
I'm not buying what I've been sold
Maybe I'm getting tired, or maybe I'm getting old
I'm not sure that we have a choice
Do we use our fists or do we use our voice
We can find another way
Or we could burn it to the ground
Or we could find another way
Or we could burn it to the ground
We could burn it to the ground
Let's fucking burn it to the ground
