Subject: Songs about GMO
I thought I had seen a GMO songs thread in here somewhere. But I have been unable to find it, so am starting this.

Joe, please join this to an existing thread if there is one.

Just wanted to add my two cents to the struggle for fertile seeds:

SOW TRUE SEEDS
(Bob Coltman)
Based on Lil McClintock's "Sow Good Seed" and Woody Guthrie-Cisco Houston's "Sowin' On the Mountain"

CHO:
Sow true seeds, everybody,
Don't use that G.M. O.,
Sow true seeds, everybody,
You got to reap just what you sow.

Those true seeds are your treasure,
They're you're heritge, you know,
Those true seeds are your birthright,
So boycott Monsanto.

CHO

Any man who'd take a plant,
And fix it so its seed won't grow,
He is a madman, he is a bad man,
He will reap just what he'll sow.

CHO

Every plant must be fertile,
So its generations will how,
Those who make a plant infertile,
They will reap just what they sow.

CHO

So if they try to sell you bad seed
Just you stand up and tell them no,
Only the good seed, only the fertile seed,
We want to reap just what we sow.

CHO

Sow good seeds, everybody,
Not one seed that's G.M.O.,
Sow true seeds, everybody,
You got to reap just what you sow.
