Neil Young - Monsanto Years Lyrics

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
Their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops
While they work on, they can't find an easy way to stop
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
