Red, White And Blue

on the seven seas of swirling water hope abandoned me after a squall while a gentle breeze licked my face like a lost puppy that no one will call i'm blue day and night i'm blue wrong or right i'm blue red and white but mostly blue give the sixth degree to anyone who inspires unease as we stand up tall like a lonely tree that's terrified of shedding leaves and fearing the fall i'm blue day and night i'm blue wrong or right i'm blue red and white but mostly blue what we do to shine it on undermines us when we're gone on our dirty knees we seek the truth but our deities never agree like the forty thieves mouthing off with impunity as they watch us grieve i'm blue day and night i'm blue wrong or right i'm blue red and white but mostly blue
