Red Day on Blue Street

They're kissing babies and telling me lies They're taking over my television They're making noises that sound so wise Trying to influence my decision Rituals old fashioned With speeches so proud and passionate Hope reigns, fears rule I may be crazy but I'm not such a fool No such fool Red day on blue street And this world promises everything Old shoes on new feet again Nothing changes Red day on blue street Here comes a man with a face so sincere Here comes another with power on his mind Both with a want for a word in my ear Both with a message of hope for my kind Heads of this nation Fight lies with misinformation and This gives, that takes One or the other for the difference it makes None at all Red day on blue street And this world promises everything Old shoes on new feet again Nothing changes Red day on blue street We are the chosen ones You have asked us to serve you We deserve you It's going the way that we said it would We say that you never had it so good No one's a loser who plays our game The difference is clear, we just changed our name Nobody knows that it's just the same Red day on blue street Or how about Blue day on red street It doesn't matter, it really doesn't It doesn't matter, it really doesn't Somebody showing me the magical way Somebody waving the key to my chains They must believe I was born yesterday They must believe I've got sand for my brains Members historical Woo me with words rhetorical Blood runs, mud flies Can't see a thing for the wool in my eyes In my eyes Red day on blue street And this world promises everything Old shoes on new feet again Nothing changes Red day on blue street This world promises everything Old shoes on new feet again Nothing changes Red day on blue street --- Red Day on Blue Street - Tony Banks
