Lyrics

[00:33.14] You never know what the future holds in the shallow soil of Monsanto, Monsanto
[00:46.41] The moon is full and the seeds are sown while the farmer toils for Monsanto, Monsanto
[00:59.89] When these seeds rise they're ready for the pesticide
[01:13.10] And Roundup comes and brings the poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto
[01:30.40] The farmer knows he's got to grow what he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto
[01:43.49] So he signs a deal for GMOs that makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto
[01:58.08] Every year he buys the patented seeds
[02:10.48] Poison-ready they're what the corporation needs, Monsanto
[02:53.93] When you shop for your daily bread and walk the aisles of Safeway, Safeway
[03:07.20] Find the package to catch your eye that makes you smile at Safeway, at Safeway
[03:21.58] Choose a picture of an old red barn on a field of green
[03:33.57] With the farmer and his wife and children to complete the scene at Safeway, at Safeway
[03:50.33] Dreams of the past come flooding back to the farmer's mind, his mother and father
[04:03.78] Family seeds they used to save were gifts from God, not Monsanto, Monsanto
[04:17.58] Their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops
[04:30.32] While they work on, they can't find an easy way to stop, Monsanto, Monsanto
[05:13.63] Don't care now what the Bible said so long ago not Monsanto, Monsanto
[05:26.56] Give us this day our daily bread and let us not go with Monsanto, Monsanto
[05:39.84] The seeds of life are not what they once were
[05:52.57] Mother Nature and God don't own them anymore
