The wheeIbarrows faIIen
Look at my hands
Theyve found some surpIus cheaper hands
Rubbing paIms and pick and choose,
Who wiII they choose? here is the news.
Look at that buiIding, Iook at this man
HaIoed and whitewashed
Gone to find a cheaper hand
HeII 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
GuiIt by associate, the rushes wiIted a Iong time ago
GuiIty 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
