From Red To Blue Lyrics by Billy Bragg
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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 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 ideas you opted out of
I still hold them to be true
I guess they weren't so firmly
Held by you
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 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 ideas you opted out of   I still hold them to be true   I guess they weren't so firmly   Held by you
