Green Thing

A local bar had a scrolling marquee sign that said "It ain't a black thing. It ain't a white thing. It's a green thing. Don't ask for credit." Pretty much sums it up.

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 passion 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
