[Verse 1]
If you don't like a rock star bucks 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'd like to start my day off without helping Monsanto

[Chorus]
Mon-san-to
Let our farmers grow
What they want to grow

[Verse 2]
From the fields of Nebraska, to the banks of the Ohio
Farmers won't be free to grow what they wanna grow
If corporate control takes over the American farm
With fascist politicians and chemical giants walking arm in arm

[Chorus]
Mon-san-to
Let our farmers grow
What they want to grow

[Verse 3]
When the people of Vermont voted 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
Sued the state of Vermont to overturn the peoples will
