The Monsanto Years歌词

You never know what the future
Holds in the shallow soil of Monsanto, Monsanto
The moon is full and the seeds are sown
While the farmer toils for Monsanto, Monsanto
When these seeds rise they're ready for the pesticide
And Roundup comes and brings
The poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto
The farmer knows he's got to grow
What he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto
So he signs a deal for GMOs
That makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto
Every year he buys the patented seeds
Poison-ready they're what the corporation needs, Monsanto
When you shop for your daily bread
And walk the aisles of Safeway, Safeway
Find the package to catch your eye
That makes you smile at Safeway, at Safeway
Choose a picture of an old red barn on a field of green
With the farmer and his wife
And children to complete the scene at Safeway, at Safeway
Dreams of the past come flooding back to the farmer's mind,
His mother and father
Family seeds they used to save were gifts from God,
Not Monsanto, Monsanto
Don't care now what the Bible said so long ago
not Monsanto, Monsanto
Give us this day our daily bread
And let us not go with Monsanto, Monsanto
The seeds of life are not what they once were
Mother Nature and God don't own them anymore
