Plow Under Pete Seeger

Remember when the AAA
Killed a million hogs a day?
Instead of hogs it's men today
Plow the fourth one under

[Chorus:]
Plow under!
Plow under!
Plow under
Ev'ry fourth American boy

They said our agricultural
System was about to fall
So from Washington they sent a call
Plow the fourth one under

[Chorus]
The price of cotton wouldn't rise
They said, "We've got to fertilize."
So now on us they turn their eyes
Plow the fourth one under

[Chorus]
They said our system wouldn't work
Until we killed the surplus off
So now they look at us and say
Plow the fourth one under
