monsanto years
Singer:young, neil
you never know what the future holds in the shallow soil of monsanto
the moon is full and the seeds are sown while the farmer toils for monsanto
when these seeds rise they're ready for the pesticide
and roundup comes and brings the poison tide of monsanto
the farmer knows he's got to grow what he can sell
so he signs a deal for gmos that makes life hell with monsanto
every year he buys the patented seeds
poison-ready they're what the corporation needs
when you shop for your daily bread and walk the aisles of safeway
find the package to catch your eye that makes you smile 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
dreams of the past come flooding back to the farmer's mind
family seeds they used to save were gifts from god
their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops
they can't find an easy way to stop
don't care now what the bible said so long ago not monsanto
give us this day our daily bread and let us not go with monsanto
the seeds of life are not what they once were
mother nature and god don't own them anymore
