Pretty Green Lyrics
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 jukebox,
It's gonna play all the record in the hit parade.
I've got a pocket full of pretty green,
I'm gonna give 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.
And they didn't teach me that at school,
It's something that I've learn on my onw,
That power is measured by the pound or the fist,
It's as clear as this.
I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine,
I'm gonna put it in the jukebox,
It's gonna play all the record in the hit parade.
I'm gonna give to the man behind the counter.
He's gonna give me food and water,
I'm gonna eat that and look for more,
You can't do nothing unless it's in the pocket.
It's something that I've learn on my onw,
That power is measured by the pound or the fist,
It's as clear as this.

It's all about money!

@SmithersJones87 no it’s about weed
@SmithersJones87 no it’s about weed
It's about how much importance is given to money.
@Backhander no it’s not about money just weed
@Backhander no it’s not about money just weed
I always thought that these lines carried more meaning -"It's something that I learnt on my own That power is measured by the pound or the fist"
This is someone who is a small time thug or burglar.
