Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 Then Roundup comes, brings the poison tide (Monsanto, Monsanto) [Verse 2] The farmer knows he's got to grow what he can sell Its (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) [Verse 3] 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 down at (Safeway, 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) [Verse 4] Dreams of the past come flooding back To the farmer's mind (His Mother, his Father) The family seeds they used to save Were gifts from God, not (Monsanto, Monsanto) Gifts from God, gifts from God Gifts from God, gifts from God, gifts from God (Monsanto) [Verse 5] 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 give them to you anymore [Outro: Guitar Solos] Gifts from God, gifts from God Gifts from God Gifts from God (Monsanto) (Monsanto) (Monsanto) (Monsanto)
