Pretty Green

I've got a pocket full of pretty green

I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine

I'm gonna put it in the juke box

It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade

I've got a pocket full of pretty green

I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter

He's gonna give me food and water

I'm gonna eat that and look for more

This is the pretty green, this is society

You can't do nothing unless it's in the pocket, oh no

I've got a pocket full of pretty green

I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine

I'm gonna put it in the juke box

It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade

This is the pretty green, this is society

You can't do nothing unless it's in the pocket, oh no

And they didn't teach me that in school

It's something that

I learnt on my own

That power is measured by the pound or the fist

It's as clear as this, hey

I've got a pocket full of pretty green

I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine

I'm gonna put it in the juke box

It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade

I've got a pocket full of pretty green

I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter

He's gonna give me food and water

I'm gonna eat that and look for more

This is the pretty green, this is society

You can't do nothing unless it's in the pocket, oh no(I've got a pocket full of pretty green)
