Plaedo - Seeds of Change [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Verse 1 Plaedo)
I was walking down the street
Looking for food to eat
I went inside a store
All I saw was corn
In the form of chips and dips
Burgers, buns, fries
Soda's and Pies
Because if it is processed
It's probably got it
A monoculture cropland
Grown across the continent
But here is the problem
Monoculture farms
Harm the soil
And the plants are prone to pests
They spray pesticides
It kills the other life
But not the corn
Because the genes are spliced
The farmer in debt
To these seeds he buys
If he tries to do different
He'll be T.R.I.P.'d and terrorized
The government pays for this to be subsidized
Why
Still we don't eat it
We ship it and feed it
To cows in a cage
And if I told you how they were treated
It might offend you
So instead I'll say
Welcome to the Dollar Menu
And why is this cheeseburger
Cheaper than a salad
This food gives you
Diabetes, heart disease, and obesity
That's not the food that I want to feed my family
So I be changing what I eat and planting these seeds
Because today we say...

(Chorus: Calvin Chance)
We are what we eat
So we're planting our own seeds
The seeds of change
Get handed out for free

(Verse 2: Plaedo)
So now I'm thinking about the government
Thinking it's corrupted
If it is funded
By the corporations, they should be regulating
And if it isn't
I ask them please prove it
Like here is a solution
Diversify the food supply
Stop the subsidies to Monsanto
As the unemployment rises
And the food stamps grow
Why don't we pay more people to grow food
Food for community
Food for you and me
The bounty of the harvest
Will be given to those starving
Before the Magna Carta
We started governments
For protection from famines
Now look at Climate Change
It is getting drastic
And our food is pesticides and plastic
It makes us sick
So microphone check, 1-2, what is this
Death to the sickness
Of agribusiness!

Chorus

(Verse 3: Plaedo)
So we want the oil
Out of the soil
We want food not bombs
Gardens not lawns
Shout out the moms
Cooking healthy food in the school cafeteria
Shout out the farms
That are going organic
And shout out the Senators
That be working for the cause
But enough politikin'
Lets celebrate the kitchen
And lets take it back
To that old school
Tradition
Because in the spring
I plant my seeds
In the summer
Pull the weeds
In the fall
It's harvest y'all
In the winter
Kale for dinner
Eating with seasons
Beyond organic
This is biodynamic
And we're planting aquaponics
But no pesticides
Because we respect the life
And if I'm cooking tonight
The nutritious, delicious
Dishes we be fixen'
Come to the kitchen
But before you touch the plate
You better say grace
And you better say thanks because...

Chorus
