Controlling Seeds Lyrics


The breeders discovered a way to control

Yield, protein quality, disease resistance and more

Using hybrid breeding techniques

Highly beneficial to the companies selling seeds

Seed companies created dependence

With a monopoly on seeds

Controlling parent lines

Selling only hybrids

Hybrid breeding techniques

Takes 2 parent lines create

Hybrids are only stable for one generation

The seeds don’t reproduce

Smaller seed companies were assimilated

By chemical and pharmaceutical companies

Hybrids are a dead end and do not evolve

Which keeps you coming back for more

Seed Monopolies (x2)

Concentrating power into the hands of the few

Manipulating the food supply, only benefiting you

Sustainable agriculture gone, yes we’ve been robbed

It’s time to find out what we can do.

Seed Monopolies (x4)
