Green Collar Fertilizer

There are blue collar workers | And yellow collar workers
For our white has become faded | In a bureaucratic mess
And I say there are green collar workers | A meshing of two worlds | Of two primary colors
We are not yellow and faded and corrupt | We are not blue and poor and simple
We are Dreamers and Dancers | Musicians and Visionaries | Lovers and Animals
Our own fantastic society of dementia | And influence
This is our work
We influence the yellows | For they don't understand our ideology | And realism
We influence the blues | For they can't comprehend our symbolism | And philosophy
But we are still envious | Green with it
We test everything without the control of reality | We are cynical and stubborn
And we will always be destroyed
So that the yellows may grow more yellow | And like it
And the blues may drink in unquestioned ignorance | And like it
But our collars will stay the greenest of greens | A clover among dandelions and violets
Though the mud splatters upon us in our graves
