Subsistence and culture devoured
To live it must still consume
So capital expands into your backyard
Monsanto diversifies into your backyard
Chorus:
They've conscripted the wind
to raise their flags
the species they now own
the premise to seize it all
Biopharming the globe
We all pay the price
Family farming to be banned
Permaculture illegalized.
In Rosa and Hannah's garden
They've imperialized your chives
They've colonized your home through your balcony
They've staked a claim to your rooftop garden
(chorus)
Assessors test your amaranth
Bureaucrats examining your corn's DNA
Tax collectors coming for your vegetables
The sheriff confiscating all your vegetables
(chorus)
They poison the soil and air and water
Then process it and sell it back to you
The replicating gene in your Happy Meal
Will tear your body into their property
And still they hunger for your dependency
And still they hunger for captured markets
And still they hunger for your dependency
And still they hunger for your dependency
And still they hunger
