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
ย
When these seeds rise they're ready for the pesticide
ย
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
ย
So he signs a deal for GMOs that makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto
Every year he buys the patented seeds
ย
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
ย
Choose a picture of an old red barn on a field of green
ย
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
Their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops
ย
While they work on, they can't find an easy way to stop, Monsanto, Monsanto
ย
Don't care now what the Bible said so long ago not Monsanto, Monsanto
ย
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
ย
Mother Nature and God don't own them anymore
ย
