Lyrics Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg

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
