From Red To Blue lyrics

Another day dawns 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 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 class or green for our children?
But whatever choice I make
I will not foresake
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 opted out of, I still hold them to be true
I guess they weren't so firmly held by you
