[Verse]
F
You never know what the future holds
Dm F Dm F
in the shallow soil of Monsanto, Monsanto
F
The moon is full and the seeds are sown
Dm F Dm F
while the farmer toils for Monsanto, Monsanto
Bb Am C F
When these seeds rise they're ready for the pesticide
Bb Am C F Dm F Dm F
And Roundup comes and brings the poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto
[Verse]
F Dm F Dm F
The farmer knows he's got to grow what he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto
F
So he signs a deal for GMOs
Dm F Dm F
that makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto
Bb Am C F
Every year he buys the patented seeds
Bb Am C F Dm F
Poison-ready they're what the corporation needs, Monsanto
[Interlude]
F Dm F Dm F F Dm F Dm F
[Verse]
F
When you shop for your daily bread
Dm F Dm F
and walk the aisles of Safeway, Safeway
F
Find the package to catch your eye
Dm F Dm F
that makes you smile at Safeway, at Safeway
Bb Am C F
Choose a picture of an old red barn on a field of green
Bb
With the farmer and his wife
Am C F Dm F Dm F
and children to complete the scene at Safeway, at Safeway
[Verse]
F
Dreams of the past come flooding back
Dm F Dm F
to the farmer's mind, his mother and father
F
Family seeds they used to save
Dm F Dm F
were gifts from God, not Monsanto, Monsanto
Bb Am C F
Their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops
Bb Am C F
While they work on, they can't find an easy way to stop,
Dm F Dm F
Monsanto, Monsanto

Don't care now what the Bible said so long ago not Monsanto, Monsanto
E
Give us this day our daily bread
E6 E E6 E
and let us not go with Monsanto, Monsanto
A G#m B E
The seeds of life are not what they once were
A G#m B E
Mother Nature and God don't own them anymore
