All the earth across this land The soil that was turned by our grandparent's hands Has slowly become barren and poisonous A monoculture salanized bowl of dust The organic oasis in the desert land Sure needs the government to lend a hand' Cause the people still shop at the big box store Searching out bargains on soy and corn Oh tell me when will this madness stop The money like cream all floats to the top The farmer ain't in the dell The farmer ain't in the dell I said hi-ho the dairy-o The farmer lives in hell yeah, the farmer lives in hell The big storm cloud on the horizon plain That ain't the weather no it ain't the rain That's the coming of the GMO And there's hell to pay when the seeds do blow And the lab coat farmers and the CEO's Seem to be the only one's making the dough Corporations causing so much harm It's the long slow death of the family farm Industrial giants doing what they please Monsanto takes the wife, the child The dog, the cat, the mouse, the cheese The farmer ain't in the dell The farmer ain't in the dell I said hi-ho the dairy-o The farmer lives in hell yeah, the farmer lives in hell I like the birds and the honey bees I prefer my vegetables pesticide free I like my chicken to have seen the sun I like my milk raw and my eggs free-run I prefer salmon to have swum in the sea And I don't like meat from a factory I like to look my farmer in the eye I'll keep rooting for the little guy If we know the value of Our health and land is worth To do right by our body is To do right by the earth The farmer ain't in the dell The farmer ain't in the dell I said hi-ho the dairy-o The farmer lives in hell yeah, the farmer lives in hell The farmer ain't in the dell The farmer ain't in the dell I said hi-ho the dairy-o The farmer lives in hell yeah, the farmer lives in hell
