    I thought some of you might get a kick out of this… A friend of mine is a musician/songwriter and he did this.

    It is in no way an endorsement of Monsanto, its subsidiaries, its thoughts, practices, or haircut.

    Well, the music is fine, I can understand most of what he is singing……what are her lyrics?

    Like it! She sounds like she has a European accent, but if you listen carefully, you should be able to understand her.

    Just to make this thread a little more relevant to Costa Rica….

    [url=http://www.ticotimes.net/More-news/News-Briefs/Costa-Ricans-to-march-against-Monsanto-Saturday_Friday-May-24-2013]Costa Ricans to march against Monsanto today – Saturday[/url]

    Members of [url=http://bloqueverde.blogspot.com/]Costa Rica’s Bloque Verde[/url], which opposes the introduction of GMOs into the country and one of the organizers of the march, say Monsanto owns 90 percent of the patents for GMOs around the world.

    I got the lyrics from my friend. If they are a little hard to understand in the recording, it is because they are both from central Illinois, and doing their best ‘Opera Voices’…

    Monsanto wants to be my lover- Oh how he woos me in the night.
    I must resist the sweet taste of his kiss- for I know it isn’t right.
    Monsanto gives me flowers- his roses never fade.
    If I succumb to the dirty work he’s done…-he’ll plant them on my grave

    *aaaaahhhaaa Monsanto
    I see no soul within those eyes-I suspect the greed that I detect has fueled your lustful lies.

    I am the one they call Monsanto- it is I that would be king.
    You are small- you stand no chance at all- against my sacred seed!

    **aaaaahhhaaa Monsanto
    Have mercy on us all- your seed is sin! It’s blowing in the wind.
    No one knows where it may fall!

    Instrumental

    I am much wiser than my daughter- I ‘ve seen this kind of man before…
    We must abstain from Monsanto’s poison grain…
    Or become Monsanto’s whore.

    I am the one they call Monsanto- it is I who would be king.
    I do not care- my poisons everywhere!
    It grows the money green.

    *aaaaahhhaaa Monsanto
    You’re no mortal man at all-with great deception, you’ve procured your protection.
    But you’re not…above gods law.
    No you’re not. No you’re not.
    Not at all!
