From Red To Blue — Bragg Billy

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

Youre 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 youve 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 youve opted out of,

I still hold them to be true

I guess they werent so firmly held by you
