"Party of Me"
Divided into misshapen pieces,
the American pie.
Something delicious now something vicious.
It's a puzzle and we don't know why.
Lines divide us as we pass by
facing opposite directions,
we attempt to toe the line,
only met with firm rejections.
What party am I?
Bringing my party into this debate
so you can feel justified
slinging slander and hate.
You say I'm "on the other side".
I know who I am
and I know what defines me.
Not one part worth a damn
is from a political party.
What party am I?
We are often demanding
respect for religion or race,
but party's not so outstanding.
You might just spit in my face
because you have some assumption
that the lines of the big wigs
are for public consumption
and we all think what they think.
What party am I?
We're just loosely associated,
our ideals are all varied.
It's not that complicated.
The common people aren't married
to the ideals that they're spouting
on prime-time T.V.
Start believing, stop doubting
that I'm the party of me.
So... "What party am I?"
- Title: Party of Me
- Artist: Nemone
- Description: I wrote this because I just get sick of people assuming that people who disagree with them on just one issue are from the "other party" and slinging around party names like insults. Half the time it's not even true. I believe that this "us vs them" mentality makes it easy for politicians to manipulate us and it's wrong to stick people into a category and judge them.
