Just Blue
Written in December 2002, I was commenting on the seemingly unanimous wave of support for Bush's military and social endeavors. What shocked me was the impression that Bush could do no wrong. And I felt there was a sense of helplessness in many people's minds, as if we should just march along with his stubborn policies.
Thanks to George Demarest for the trumpet solo!
downloadSo I'm not the only one
to see through your skin-thin veil of lies
though sometimes I have to look around
maybe I should buy a gun
and drive round in my Hummer, yum, oh my!
I'd blend right in and not be found
shouldn't I conform
now that you're the norm
I'm not sure this quite holds true
why am I distressed
can't you sense this mess
we're not red or white, just blue
there's something coming out from you
though it may not be the whole view
I'm sure that your advisors would deny
but that's what they are paid to do
to follow like a maid and cry
whenever dirt gets in your eyes
shouldn't I conform
now that you're the norm
I'm not sure this quite holds true
why am I distressed
can't you sense this mess
we're not red or white, just blue
don't you love yourself
you drink from the top shelf
as you've taught your family to
now that you've begun
we're suck on the second rung
is there nothing we can do
shouldn't I conform
now that you're the norm
I'm not sure this quite holds true
why am I distressed
can't you sense this mess
we're not red or white, just blue
