Workin' Man Lyrics

A working man in Indiana
Travelled from farm to farm
Cleanin' seeds and talkin' weather
Worked ninety farms
Got to know the farmers
Knew all of their kids
Out in the country
That was '96
This life was good and steady
Clean seeds were cash
Next year the farmers were ready
Times were changing fast
Supreme Court in session
Made a new law
GMO seeds and patents
Had a fatal flaw

Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas
Once worked for Monsanto
Well I don't know you
But I do know who I am

One summer morning
Just around dawn
Four men with briefcases
Were on the workin' man's lawn
We're gonna to sue you
Take you to court
For patent infringement
And the criminals you support
We're from Monsanto
We own the seeds
Give us the names
Of those farmers you see
You're gonna need big money
To stand your ground
We're gonna bury you
How does that sound?
Working man lost all his friends
His business too
Well I don't know you
But I do know who I am

Now times have changed
Things are picking up
Wheels are rollin' again
On the old seed truck
Cleaner's coming back
They're taken back the land
They don't care the cost
They're gonna take a stand

Well I don't know you
But I do know who I am

Well I don't know you
But I do know who I am
