Fear of the Blue Andaree

Down in the pits of man, lives a mounting fear
More powerful than it may appear
If their ideals ran askew 
If their banks withdrew
Collars turned
Blue 
And they've learned?
Work, it's what you do
Towards not "better", but "new"
Or else, all their comfort disappears 
Down in the pits of man, lives a mounting fear
