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
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
What I'm searching for to tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall Walking by myself down avenues that reek of time to kill If you see me keep going be a pass by waver Build me up, bring me down just leave me out you name dropper Stop trying to catch my eye I see you good you forced faker Just make it easy You're my enemy you fast talker
Chorus: I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
What am I here for I left my home to disappear is all I'm here for myself Not to know you I don't need no one else Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later You don't know me I am an introvert an excavator I'm duckin' out for now a face in dodgy elevators Creep up and suddenly I found myself an innovator
Chorus.
Change, change, change, I want to get up out of my skin tell you what if I can shake it I'm 'a make this something worth dreaming of
