green grow the rushes - r.e.m. lyrics
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
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
[chorus]
green grow the rushes go
green grow the rushes go
green grow the rushes go
the comp-ss points the workers home
[verse 3]
pay for your freedom
or find another gate
guilt by -ssociate
the rushes wilted a long time ago
guilty as you go
[verse 4]
stay off that highway
word is, it’s not so safe
the gr-sses that hide the greenback
the amber waves of gain again
the amber waves of grain
[chorus]
green grow the rushes go
green grow the rushes go
green grow the rushes go
the comp-ss points the workers home
[outro]
la-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
la-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
la-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
[outro]
la-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
la-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
la-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
