Lyrics
[Verse 1] A working man in Indiana traveled from farm to farm Cleanin' 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, clean seeds were cash Next year the farmers were ready, the times were changin' fast Supreme Court in session made a new law GMO seeds and patents had a fatal flaw [Chorus] Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas once worked for Monsanto Well I don't know you but I do know who I am [Verse 3] One summer mornin' just around dawn Four men with briefcases were on the workin' man's lawn We're gonna to sue you, take you to court For patent infringement and the criminals you support [Verse 4] We're from Monsanto, we own the seeds Give us the names of the farmers you seek You're gonna need big money to stand your ground We're gonna bury you, how does that sound? [Chorus] Working man lost all his friends, his business too Well I don't know you but I do know who I am [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] Now times have changed, things are pickin' up The wheels are rollin' again on the old seed truck The cleaner's comin' back, have taken back the land They don't care the cost, they're gonna take a stand [Chorus] 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
