Testo di 'Farmer Ain't In The Dell' di Genevieve Charbonneau

All the earth across this land
The soil that was turned by our grandparent's hands
Has slowly become barren and poisonous
A monoculture salanized bowl of dust

The organic oasis in the desert land
Sure needs the government to lend a hand'
Cause the people still shop at the big box store
Searching out bargains on soy and corn

Oh tell me when will this madness stop
The money like cream all floats to the top

The farmer ain't in the dell
The farmer ain't in the dell
I said hi-ho the dairy-o
The farmer lives in hell yeah, the farmer lives in hell

The big storm cloud on the horizon plain
That ain't the weather no it ain't the rain
That's the coming of the GMO
And there's hell to pay when the seeds do blow

And the lab coat farmers and the CEO's
Seem to be the only one's making the dough
Corporations causing so much harm
It's the long slow death of the family farm

Industrial giants doing what they please
Monsanto takes the wife, the child
The dog, the cat, the mouse, the cheese

The farmer ain't in the dell
The farmer ain't in the dell
I said hi-ho the dairy-o
The farmer lives in hell yeah, the farmer lives in hell

I like the birds and the honey bees
I prefer my vegetables pesticide free
I like my chicken to have seen the sun
I like my milk raw and my eggs free-run

I prefer salmon to have swum in the sea
And I don't like meat from a factory
I like to look my farmer in the eye
I'll keep rooting for the little guy

If we know the value of
Our health and land is worth
To do right by our body is
To do right by the earth

The farmer ain't in the dell
The farmer ain't in the dell
I said hi-ho the dairy-o
The farmer lives in hell yeah, the farmer lives in hell

The farmer ain't in the dell
The farmer ain't in the dell
I said hi-ho the dairy-o
The farmer lives in hell yeah, the farmer lives in hell
