From Red To Blue

Another day dawn's grey

It's 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 seen things in different ways

For every parent will

Gain perspective on their wilder days

But that alone does not explain

The change 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 the bright shining light

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 all must all bend a little

If we are not to break

But the ideas you've opted out of

I still hold them to be true

I guess they weren't so firmly held by you
