Walls Et Al. - A Part Lyrics

Most of us are fairly sure the grass grows green
But that ain't how it looks on my TV screen
It shows a country shaded red and blue
But to my eyes it blends a Tyrian purple hue
D'ya feel okay to see the country this way?
Gotta don the purple robes if you want to play
Find your fortune, wear a laurel wreath made of gold
Might tend to shade your eyes like a gilded blindfold

We had a mighty fine start
Now we're tearin' this place apart
If we can't turn the volume down
Might bring the place to the ground
Yeah, parties got this whole house rockin'
Opportunity is scared to come knockin'
I ask myself if I'm better than this
And say I can't be a part of this thoughtlessness

They serve their parties, brewing tempests up in teapots
Doesn't matter what's inside, but that it gets hot
Goes back and forth; the issues lost, still fought
One leviathan despot, that's the whole lot
Would you say that spirit really represents you?
Do you have your own mind? Do ya choose from just two?
So talk and listen because discourse isn't zero sum
Spread ideas; we're the People, it's our freedom
