Monsanto Years / Gli anni di Monsanto
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
It's Monsanto, it's 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, 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, 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

Non saprai mai quale futuro riserva il sottile terreno
Di Monsanto, Monsanto
La luna è piena e i semi piantati mentre l'agricoltore suda
Per Monsanto, Monsanto
Appena questi semi spuntano sono pronti per il pesticida
E il Roundup [1] arriva portando la marea avvelenata
Di Monsanto, Monsanto
L'agricoltore sa di dover coltivare ciò che potrà vendere
E' Monsanto, è Monsanto
Quindi firma per gli OGM e la sua vita diventa un inferno
Con Monsanto, Monsanto
Ogni anno compra i semi brevettati
E velenosi, che fanno comodo alla multinazionale
Monsanto
Quando vai a comprare il pane e passi tra le corsie
Di Safeway, Safeway
Cerca la confezione che cattura il tuo sguardo e ti fa sorridere
Da Safeway, Safeway
Scegli la figura di un fienile rosso su un campo verde
Con l'agricoltore, la moglie e i figli a completare la scena
Da Safeway, Safeway
I sogni del passato ritornano alla mente dell'agricoltore
Sua madre e suo padre
I semi usati un tempo dalla famiglia erano doni di Dio
Non di Monsanto, Monsanto
Loro figlio cresce malato accanto ai raccolti avvelenati
Più lavorano, più è difficile trovare il modo per smettere
Monsanto, Monsanto
Non importa ciò che diceva la Bibbia tanto tempo fa
Non Monsanto, Monsanto
Dacci oggi il nostro pane quotidiano e non lasciarci
Con Monsanto, Monsanto
I semi della vita non sono più ciò che erano
Madre Natura e Dio non li possiedono più
