lyrics

The Great Cornspiracy

Willie sounded the alarm and moved to save those family farms
But the Great Cornspiracy is upon us
Consolidation was the key that brought the families to their knees
Oh, the Great Cornspiracy is here

Own the patent own the seed and they’ll decide who they will feed
The Great Cornspiracy’s upon us
Begging Masters for some crumbs you can be sure will never come
Oh, the Great Cornspiracy is here

It's a Cornspiracy, it's further than the eye can see
This is not some careless accusation
Cornspiracy will be our future slavery
Unite and fight or face our ruination

We the people must make a stand before the Beast devours the land
Oh, The Great Cornspiracy’s upon us
Though its ripe and in your hand t’is not the benefit of Man
Oh the Great Cornispiracy is here

Our beloved Agriculture is being circled by a vulture
Oh, The Great Cornspiracy’s upon us
And if the kill the bees, hand to God, we’re on our knees
Oh, The Great Cornspiracy’s upon us

Cornspiracy will be the end of you and me
It happened while we sat upon our asses
Cornspiracy the endgame of humanity
For who controls the food controls the masses

If must reap what They sow then we can’t eat what we grow
The Great Cornspiracy’s upon us
Do not hoe brother, no, lest we sow the seeds of woe
The Great Cornspiracy is here

Surely, there is no greater sign that the World has lost it’s mind
The Great Cornspiracy’s upon us
Instead of feeding theirs and ours we’re burning food inside our cars
The Great Cornspiracy is here

Cornspiracy further than the eye can see
This is not some baseless allegation
Cornspiracy will be our future slavery
Unite and fight or face our ruination

This land was your land this land was my land
Sold out from under us for a hundred million grand
If we don’t stand up and put our fists up
In this land they’ll bury you and me

So we say hell no to you Monsanto
You can not make us grow what we don’t want to
You are the bad seed ripened on poison and greed
That land ain’t made for you and me

Cornspiracy further than the eye can see
It happened while we sat upon our asses
Cornspiracy the endgame of humanity
For who controls the food controls the masses
For who controls the food controls the masses

about

The Country Club Boise, Idaho

The Country Club from Boise, Idaho plays original and traditional music from the front lines of the nostalgia wars. Their sound, while drawn from the well of classic country, honky tonk, and bluegrass rings and twangs with modernity and occasional urbanity. From dark and dirty to clean and pristine the Country Club is as at home on the range as it is in an uptown club or saloon downtown.
