He actually says "I've got blue collar eyes, the union has been unkind". I'm not sure the words in Brandon's songs are supposed to form any sort of cohesive story as much as they're supposed to evoke images... either way, he has a knack for saying Morrisey-esque lines that come across as being very shrewd, so I don't really mind.
This is a pretty cool song, too. I love how the main riff is lifted from Surf Wax America, intentional or not.
