You Can't Always Grow What You Want

music: Rolling Stones lyrics: Natalia Zukerman

I saw him today at the reception
A glass of wine in his hands
I knew he was there to make connections
Monsanto and his deadly plan and he said

(chorus:)

You can't always grow what you want
You can't always grow what you want
You can't always grow what you want
But if you try sometimes, you might find You'll destroy the world

I went down to the demonstration
With the bioserfs' list of demands
Singing, 'Keep growing seeds with herbicide resistance and watch thedying of the land.'

(chorus)

I went down to the superchain drugstore
To get your prescription filled.
This morning your antibiotics stopped working
And man did you look pretty ill.
Just then a ladybug landed on my shoulder.
My favorite colors balck and cherry red. I sang,
'Ladybug fly away home to your children.'
And she said, 'I can't cuz they're all dead.'

(chorus)

I saw him today at the reception
In his glass was a bleeding man
He was practiced at the art of deception
I could tell by his blood-stained hands

(chorus)
