Plaedo - Seeds of Change lyrics

(Verse 1 Plaedo) I was walking down the street Looking for food to eat I went inside a store All I saw was corn In the form of chips and dips Burgers, buns, fries Soda's and Pies Because if it is processed It's probably got it A monoculture cropland Grown across the continent But here is the problem Monoculture farms Harm the soil And the plants are prone to pests They spray pesticides It k**s the other life But not the corn Because the genes are spliced The farmer in debt To these seeds he buys If he tries to do different He'll be T.R.I.P.'d and terrorized The government pays for this to be subsidized Why Still we don't eat it We ship it and feed it To cows in a cage And if I told you how they were treated It might offend you So instead I'll say Welcome to the Dollar Menu And why is this cheeseburger Cheaper than a salad This food gives you Diabetes, heart disease, and obesity That's not the food that I want to feed my family So I be changing what I eat and planting these seeds Because today we say... (Chorus: Calvin Chance) We are what we eat So we're planting our own seeds The seeds of change Get handed out for free (Verse 2: Plaedo) So now I'm thinking about the government Thinking it's corrupted If it is funded By the corporations, they should be regulating And if it isn't I ask them please prove it Like here is a solution Diversify the food supply Stop the subsidies to Monsanto As the unemployment rises And the food stamps grow Why don't we pay more people to grow food Food for community Food for you and me The bounty of the harvest Will be given to those starving Before the Magna Carta We started governments For protection from famines Now look at Climate Change It is getting drastic And our food is pesticides and plastic It makes us sick So microphone check, 1-2, what is this d**h to the sickness Of agribusiness! Chorus (Verse 3: Plaedo) So we want the oil Out of the soil We want food not bombs Gardens not lawns Shout out the moms Cooking healthy food in the school cafeteria Shout out the farms That are going organic And shout out the Senators That be working for the cause But enough politikin' Lets celebrate the kitchen And lets take it back To that old school Tradition Because in the spring I plant my seeds In the summer Pull the weeds In the fall It's harvest y'all In the winter Kale for dinner Eating with seasons Beyond organic This is biodynamic And we're planting aquaponics But no pesticides Because we respect the life And if I'm cooking tonight The nutritious, delicious Dishes we be fixen' Come to the kitchen But before you touch the plate You better say grace And you better say thanks because... Chorus
