Rem – Green Grow The Rushes

Rem – Green Grow The Rushes

The wheelbarrows fallen

Look at my hands

Theyve 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

Hell 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 its not so safe

The 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
