It ain't about black depression It ain't about sunny hues It ain't about black or white or red It ain't about singing the blues It's a green thing It ain't about purple pa**ion It ain't about jealous rage It ain't about love, or even hate
Or standing here on the stage It's a green thing Don't bother me with your theories Don't trouble me with your facts I'm just trying to pay my bills Before they come and take it all back It's a green thing
