Ben Harper – Farmers Daughter Lyrics

Read Time:51 Second

My daddy is a farmer, that makes me the farmers daughter
But its no joke were always broke, cant live on dirt and water
Cant live on dirt and water.

We cant plant and we cant grow. we cant reap and we cant sow
Dont own the seed cant plant our rows, it all belongs to monsanto
All belongs to monsanto.

Dupont, dow and monsanto, we are what we eat
They own the pollen own the seeds, own us from head to feet
Own the air we breath.

Sister shed her overalls, put on heels and skirt
City bound she fled the ground to strike her own pay dirt
Strike her own pay dirt

My brother donned a uniform, to keep us safe from harm
But terror is as terror does, the bank foreclosed our farm
Foreclosed the family farm.

Jesse james he robbed the banks, they shot that boy to death
Now the banks are robbing us we got nothing left,
We got nothing left,
We got nothing left.
