I would spend many nights at home

Woman if it means contention, I'd rather be alone

Tell the service man, cut the phones

And put me way over there

And take me out of contention

I surrender my crown

I lose all sense of what is abuse!

'Cause it's always been a bone of contention!

This game of 'What it is that I've done for you?'

Time changed as strangest things

have become matters of contention;

Some of things we've had to do,

To usurp my prose, you so-and-so

It's my primary bone of contention

I tell you, everybody, I've had it

'Til we rolled on the bones and we made them our own

And the road to contention was sealed

If I know better, I don't know better

Today it's all different

A daring contention

They talk about love and forgiving

Skin and bone

Bone of contention

Bone of contention

Don't be alarmed, just pay attention

Bone, bone of contention

I've lost the count of times

We have no place that we can claim without contention

We are constructing a whole new edifice of boxes to put people in

Is it off to Betty Ford for the handy bloke

And the bone of contention has all our attention

The bone of contention was all our invention

Is how you can feel

What accomplishment can do for contention

Ambition, oh so dirty

And the key that turns my peace to rage

You're somewhere caught in my contention

As I push you away
