We Just Disagree

Music by Jim Krueger
Words by me

Here I stand
While you circle ’round and ’round.
It seems to you
That you’re standing on such solid ground.
But that isn’t what I see;
Your steady speed
Changes its direction constantly.

When we look at the world
From our different points of view
You see what you do, I see what I do,
Is there a reason to think only one is true?
Oo, oh.

You feel a force
That is always pushing out.
And if you move
It’s sideways that you’re pulled about.
And for those forces
Newton’s third law isn’t true.
That reference frame
Makes things seem so different to you.

So we find different rules
Even though our world’s the same
I see straight shootin’, and stand by Newton.
While paths are curved in your rotating ref’rence frame.
Oo, oh.

So between you and me,
The laws of physics aren’t the same.
You feel these forces that have no sources.
I see a Δv and we just disagree.
Oo, oh, oh.
