Cinemocracy: Salve for the Democratic Soul

My State is Blue
by Adam Wasson





Today you are joyous while I’m filled with rue
Your state is red; my state is blue




I canvassed, I voted, what more could I do?
Your state is red; my state is blue




I want diplomacy, you like a coup
Your state is red; my state is blue




You protect companies that I want to sue
Your state is red; my state is blue




You promote abstinence; I like to screw
Your state is red; my state is blue




You say “be strong” and I say “be true”
Your state is red; my state is blue




I said “invasion” and you said “rescue”
Your state is red; my state is blue




I say “homophobia,” you say “value”
Your state is red; my state is blue




My pets go “meow” and your pets go “moo”
Your state is red; my state is blue




I like rights (say, free speech) you want to undo
Your state is red; my state is blue




You like the Cowboys, I side with the Sioux
Your state is red; my state is blue




You think that crap in the Bible is true
Your state is red; my state is blue




You’re killing health care and I’ve got the flu
Your state is red; my state is blue




I fought the good fight, did all I could do
Your state is red; my state is blue




There are millions of me, and yet more of you
Your state is red; my state is blue




Oh Cheney, Cheney, you bastard, I’m through
Your state is red; my state is blue
