Lyrics
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
