Nuovo album di Neil Young. Non è proprio convinto – come molti di noi – della cultura OGM. Atto di coraggio che volevamo segnalarvi.
E’ il 36° lavoro della sua opera musicale. Ha iniziato negli anni Sessanta con i suoi capolavori. Il fatto è che, ora, esce con un nuovo album dal programmatico titolo “The Monsanto years”. Testi fortemente contrari agli OGM. La Monsanto, in una nota ufficiale, dice che anche loro ascoltavano “Harvest” e sono dispiaciuti: Neil Young è disinformato, non avrebbe capito chi sono e cosa fanno. Davvero?
Per un rapido ascolto:

Il testo di The Monsanto Years.
Monsanto Years
You never know what the future holds in the shallow soil of Monsanto, Monsanto
The moon is full and the seeds are sown while the farmer toils for Monsanto, Monsanto
When these seeds rise they’re ready for the pesticide
And Roundup comes and brings the poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto
The farmer knows he’s got to grow what he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto
So he signs a deal for GMOs that makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto
Every year he buys the patented seeds
Poison-ready they’re what the corporation needs, Monsanto
When you shop for your daily bread and walk the aisles of Safeway, Safeway
Find the package to catch your eye that makes you smile at Safeway, at Safeway
Choose a picture of an old red barn on a field of green
With the farmer and his wife and children to complete the scene at Safeway, at Safeway
Dreams of the past come flooding back to the farmer’s mind, his mother and father
Family seeds they used to save were gifts from God, not Monsanto, Monsanto
Their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops
While they work on, they can’t find an easy way to stop, Monsanto, Monsanto
Don’t care now what the Bible said so long ago not Monsanto, Monsanto
Give us this day our daily bread and let us not go with Monsanto, Monsanto
The seeds of life are not what they once were
Mother Nature and God don’t own them anymore
