Jam of Lament for a Divided America

Post by Lightning Rod » November 5th, 2004, 4:21 pm

The Red States and the Blue States

if the highest building in town has a steeple on it
you know you are in a Red State.

If the Dairy Queen is your idea of great cuisine
you are probably in a Red State.

If the mention of the word 'gay' makes you want to lose your Happy Meal
I think you are in a Red State.

If you've read a book from cover to cover other than the bible
you might be from a Blue State.

If your car radio is tuned to NPR rather than AM talk radio
you are likely to be in a Blue State.

If you are thinking about seceding from the Union
you are probably in a Blue State.

part two...

If you are red in the face since the election
you are from a Blue State and have the blues.

But blue suede shoes are from Memphis
and that's in a Red State.

And the Red Sox are from Boston
and that's in a Blue State.

We would assume that The Big Apple is red
but it's in a Blue State.

The Redskins play out of Washington DC
which is solid Blue. That's why they won't make it a State.

At least Baton Rouge is in a Red State where it belongs.
The Red River divides two Red States.
And most rednecks are in Red States.

Red States, Blue States
I hardly know what to say
At least it's not yet the Blue and the Gray.
