Green Grow the Rushes

The wheelbarrow's fallen look at my hands

They've found some surplus cheaper hands

Rubbing palms and pick and choose

Who will they choose? Here is the news

Look at that building, look at this man

Haloed and whitewashed gone to find a cheaper hand

He'll offer a pound, offer a pound

Green grow the rushes go

Green grow the rushes go

Green grow the rushes go

The compass points the workers home

Pay for your freedom, find another gate

Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago

Guilty as you go

Stay off that highway, word is it's not so safe

Grasses that hide the greenback

The amber waves of gain again

The amber waves of gain

Green grow the rushes go

Green grow the rushes go

Green grow the rushes go

The compass points the workers home

Green grow the rushes go

Green grow the rushes go

Green grow the rushes go

Green grow the rushes go

Green grow the rushes go

Green grow the rushes go
