Neil Young - Workin' Man lyrics

[Verse 1] A working man in Indiana traveled from farm to farm Plantin' seeds and talkin' weather, worked ninety farms Got to know the farmers, knew all of their kids Out in the country, that was '96 [Verse 2] His life was good and steady when seeds were cash Next year the farmers weren't ready, the times were changing fast Supreme Court in session made a new law GMO seeds and patents had a fatal flaw [Chorus 1] Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas formerly worked for Monsanto Well I don't know you but I do know who I am [Verse 3] One summer morning just around dawn Four men with briefcases were on the working man's lawn We're gonna to sue you, take you to court For patent infringement, the criminals you support We're from Monsanto, we own the seeds Give us the names of those farmers you seek You're gonna need big money to stand your ground Or we're gonna bury you, how does that sound? [Chorus 2] Working man lost all his friends, his business too Well I don't know you but I do know who I am [Verse 4] Now times have changed, things are picking up The wheels are rolling again on the old seed truck The cleaner's coming back have taken back the land They don't care the cost, they're gonna take a stand [Outro] Well I don't know you but I do know who I am Well I don't know you but I do know who I am
