From Red to Blue

Another day dawns gray 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 see 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 cla*s 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 ideas you opted out of I still hold them to be true I guess they weren't so firmly Held by you
