ode to the working poor

poor boy, dressed in black
police at your back
poor boy dressed in green
half dead at the scene
poor boy dressed in brown
everyone sees your frown
poor boy dressed in white
time to say goodnight
poor boy dressed in blue
too many with questions for you
poor boy dressed in pink
got women pulling you out of the sink
poor boy dressed in gray
the world thinks your gay
poor boy right in style
make sure you don't smile
