Money Insanto

Living in the country and sharecropping you get real close to issues about how our food production is managed. Recently we learned about Monsanto, and their practices to engineer life in their seeds, and legally bind those who use them. Some recent dirty dealing that slipped protection of corporate greed into a recent US bill and lost legal challenges brings this all back to mind.



Here are lyrics I wrote for Money Insanto out of frustration and disgust, and Nic Yown's demo.

 

Money Insanto

New harvests for you all

In the dark shadows of fall

DNA's conscription 

Nature's new destruction

Money's gene sequence 

We'll pay in consequence

Franken food is made of stuff

You cannot ever trust

It wasn't meant to be food

They eat it because they must

Makes money for Insanto

Money for the greed

You better shred that pollen

shred that pollen

You better shred that pollen

Hide the evidence

Shred that pollen

Shred that pollen

The species are fallin

Hide that pollen

They made a new plant lock

Lock up all the seed

To profits they all flock

Lock up all the seed

Now farm with chained up feet

To feed those on Wall Street

Deputize the lawyers

Make farmers of them yet

Sue the real farm workers

They have all that they will get

This is more than just plant breeding

This is life reengineering

You better Shred that pollen

shred that pollen

You better shred that pollen

Hide the evidence

Shred that pollen

Shred that pollen

The species are fallin

Hide that pollen

New Harvests for you all

In the dark shadows of fall

Food's a human right

that chemical denies

Don't make it need your spray

Or the profits you rely
