Never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road
Never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road

Ferlinghetti's work isn't know there
They believe you are what you owe
Warhol movies are never shown there
You could be sure that your mind won't be blown

Never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road
Never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road

They wear colors starchy and white there
Everybody's way up tight
They send their best young guys off to fight there
But they're afraid to go late out at night

So, never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road
Never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road
Never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road
Never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road

They're not cool if you demonstrate there
They're in love with their real estate
People hide when you say it's a grape there
All that concerns them is watching their weight

So, never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road
Never ever follow the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road, the Yellow-Green Road
