Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real - 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
