The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere
He didn't care
He stood in a field where barley grows

His head did no thinking
His arms didn't move except when the wind cut up
Rough and mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows

The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
'Cause life's not unkind, he doesn't mind
He stood in a field where barley grows

    I read about this song in a book behind Pink Floyd's lyrics and this song is basically about a scarecrow who realizes one day hes going nowhere he will forever be stuck up on a pole doing nothing and going nowhere and he slowly accepts that fact.
