  • If you don't like to rock Starbucks A coffee shop
    Well you better change your station 'cause that ain't all that we got
    Yeah, I want a cup of coffee but I don't want a GMO
    I like to start my day off without helping Monsanto

    Monnnnnn-sannnnnn-toooooooo
    Let our farmers grow what they want to grow

    From the fields of Nebraska to the banks of the Ohio
    The farmers won't be free to grow what they want to grow
    When corporate control takes over the American farm
    With fascist politicians and chemical giants walking arm in arm

    Monnnnnn-sannnnnn-toooooooo
    Let our farmers grow what they want to grow

    When the people of Vermont wanted to label food with GMOs
    So that they could find out what was in what the farmer grows
    Monsanto and Starbucks through the Grocery Manufacturers Alliance
    They sued the state of Vermont to overturn the people's will

    Monnnnnn-sannnnnn-toooooooo (and Starbucks)
    Mothers want to know what they feed their children

    Monnnnnn-sannnnnn-toooooooo
    Let our farmers grow what they want to grooooooow Writer/s: Neil Young
