Too liberal for Louisiana
Cause I want to smoke…
Smoke the wrong plants
Too conservative for California
Where they’re out of things to tax

Red state, blue state,
Parties keep the same slate
Wonder why there’s no change?
Cause it’s red state, blue state
Congress is on the take
Voting down the change

Looking for that middle ground
Want off this pendulum swing
Why do 70- and 80-year-olds
Occupy the West Wing?

Too liberal for Louisiana
Cause I want to kiss…
Kiss the wrong lips
Too conservative for California
Where you’re an outlaw with a straight six

It’s hot down in the Bible Belt
But there’s no rainbows in hell
Tighten up your Rust Belt
Just don’t drink from Flint’s well

Red state, blue state,
Parties keep the same slate
Wonder why there’s no change?
Cause it’s red state, blue state
Congress is on the take
Voting down the change

C’mon Louisiana
Find some common ground
C’mon California
Find some common ground
C’mon everybody
Find some common ground
