Lyric discussion by adam1986 

Cover art for The Anointed One lyrics by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

I don't get the line: "Ooh, what a fool I must have been We saw red, not green, when we were nineteen Now something's different" What does that mean? Ted leo rocks, and so does this song

@adam1986 Leo went to Notre Dame with Mike Ferguson; they both saw red (left-wing, perhaps socialist) not green (money), but Ferguson changed while Leo adhered to his ideals.
