Neil Young - Monsanto Years Lyrics






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
And Roundup comes and brings the poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto

The farmer knows he's got to grow what he can sell, 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

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 at Safeway, at 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

Dreams of the past come flooding back to the farmer's mind, his mother and father
Family seeds they used to save were gifts from God, not Monsanto, Monsanto
Their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops
While they work on, they can't find an easy way to stop, Monsanto, Monsanto

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 own them anymore

    The Monsanto Years
    Les Années Monsanto

    You never know what the future holds in the shallow soil of Monsanto, Monsanto
    On ne sait jamais ce que le futur couve sous la mince couche de terre de Monsanto, Monsanto.
    The moon is full and the seeds are sown while the farmer toils for Monsanto, Monsanto
    La lune est pleine et les graines sont semées tandis que le fermier tisse la toile de Monsanto, Monsanto.
    When these seeds rise, they're ready for the pesticide.
    Quand ces graines germent, elles sont prêtes pour les pesticides.
    And Roundup comes and brings the poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto
    Et Roundup arrive avec la marée de poison de Monsanto, Monsanto.

    The farmer knows he's got to grow what he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto
    Le fermier sait qu'il doit cultiver ce qu'il pourra vendre, Monsanto, Monsanto.
    So he signs a deal for GMOs that makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto
    Alors il signe un contrat d'OGMs qui fait de la vie un enfer avec Monsanto, Monsanto.
    Every year he buys the patented seeds
    Chaque année il rachète les semences brevetées
    Poison-ready they're what the corporation needs, Monsanto
    Poison-résistantes, c'est ça dont les entreprises ont besoin, Monsanto.

    When you shop for your daily bread and walk the aisles of Safeway, Safeway
    Quand tu achètes ton pain quotidien en avançant dans les allées sécurisées, sécurisées,
    Find the package to catch your eye that makes you smile at Safeway, at Safeway
    Trouve l'emballage qui attire ton regard et te fait sourire, sécurisé, sécurisé
    Choose a picture of an old red barn on a field of green
    Choisis l'image d'une vieille grange rouge sur un champ verdoyant
    With the farmer and his wife and children to complete the scene at Safeway, at Safeway
    Avec le fermier, sa femme et ses enfants pour finir le tableau sécurisé, sécurisé.

    Dreams of the past come flooding back to the farmer's mind, his mother and father
    Les rêves du passé resurgissent à l'esprit du fermier, sa mère, son père
    Family seeds they used to save were gifts from God, not Monsanto, Monsanto
    Les graines familiales qu'ils préservaient était un don de Dieu, pas de Monsanto, Monsanto.
    Their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops
    Leur propre enfant tombe malade à côté des cultures empoisonnées
    While they work on, they can't find an easy way to stop, Monsanto, Monsanto
    Tandis qu'ils continuent de travailler, sans savoir comment arrêter Monsanto, Monsanto.

    Don't care now what the Bible said so long ago not Monsanto, Monsanto
    Peu importe aujourd'hui ce qu'a dit la Bible il y a si longtemps, pas Monsanto, Monsanto
    Give us this day our daily bread and let us not go with Monsanto, Monsanto
    Donne nous aujourd'hui notre pain quotidien et ne nous soumet pas à Monsanto, Monsanto.
    The seeds of life are not what they once were,
    Les graines de vie ne sont plus ce qu'elles étaient,
    Mother Nature and God don't own them anymore
    Mère Nature et Dieu ne les possèdent plus désormais.

    "The fusion center also produced detailed graphs on the Twitter activity of Neil Young, who released an album in 2015 called the Monsanto Years. The center “evaluated the lyrics on his album to develop a list of 20+ potential topics he may target” and created a plan to “proactively produce content and response preparedness”, a Monsanto official wrote in 2015, adding it was “closely monitoring discussions” about a concert featuring Young, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews."

    "it becomes troubling when you see corporations leveraging their money to investigate people who are engaging in their first amendment rights”, said Dave Maass, the senior investigative researcher at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Michael Baum, one of the attorneys involved in the Roundup trials that uncovered the records, said the records were further “evidence of the reprehensible and conscious disregard of the rights and safety of others” and that they would support ongoing punitive damages for people who got cancer after using Roundup.
    “It shows an abuse of their power that they have gained by having achieved such large sales,” he added. “They’ve got so much money, and there is so much they are trying to protect.”

    Big tune!

  10. D.... P....

    Not the best music but gets the point across-- try harder

    D.... P....

    Your entitled to your opinion, but boy you miss the whole thing . . .

    D.... P....

    Fuck off. You've never written even one song as good as Neil's worst songs.

    D.... P....

    @friend2truth--- I hope Neil Young will remember - the Southern Man don't need him around anyhow.....

    D.... P....

    The guitar playing turns to distortion and discordant sounds on purpose, to give the feeling of the hell it is. For sure the purpose isn't to play it as a beautiful melody. It's more than just music, it's meaningful art.
