From Red To Blue
Another day dawns grey, its enough to make me spit
But we go on our way, just putting up with it
And when i try to make my feelings known to you
You sound like you have changed from red to blue
You're a father now, you see things in different ways
For every parent will gain perspective on their wilder days
But that alone does not explain the changes i see in you
The way you've drifted off from red to blue
Sometimes i think to myself
Should i vote red for my class or green for our children?
But whatever choice i make
I will not forsake
So you bought it all, the best your money could buy
And i watched you sell your soul for their bright shining lie
Where are the principles of the friend i thought i knew
I guess you let them fade from red to blue
I hate the compromises that life forces us to make
We must all bend a little if we are not to break
But the ideals you've opted out of,
I still hold them to be true
I guess they weren't so firmly held by you
