From the recordings Red and Blue (single) and Red and Blue
When did things get so red and blue?
Did the political animal swallow you?
Who is that, what did they say to you?
Lyrics
Verse 1
It’s crazy times were living in, far as I can tell, no-one wins
Even the priests have given in
Follow the beast
Envy or selfish ambition, the tide of tribalism
worship your side til it wins
Follow the beast
Chorus
Whoa when did things get so red and blue?
Whoa did the political animal swallow you?
Whoa who is that, what did they say to you?
You’ve lost your mind, you’ve lost your voice, now what else did you lose?
Verse 2:
The garden’s burning, We ate the fruit,
followed our own ideas, wrote our own truth
We’re paying for the future that we brought
all this chaos is exactly what we’ve wrought
Chorus:
Whoa when did things get so red and blue?
Whoa did the political animal swallow you?
Whoa who is that, what did they say to you?
You’ve lost your mind, you’ve lost your voice, now what else did you lose?
everybodys got something to lose
Outro:
The animal's a snake,
The animal's a snake
