lyrics

in the name of progress / we killed the insects /and sow the seeds of our death
pesticide is homicide/ i’m afraid of the consequences that may come / i’m afraid that it may wipe us out of this world leaving nothing but a scorched earth

"What is on our table? What do we eat each day? Can it be an end product of some experiment that has unpredictable effects on human body? We’ve already been made to believe that there is such thing as
an ideal fruit or vegetable. This is an example how modern market can influence our tastes. Some of us prefer gigantic and shiny apples while others prefer “organic” ones and there are those who can only afford to care about their price. (labelizing something organic is also a gigantic business by the way)
It is market and the worship of profit that forces/convinces farmers to use genetically engineered seeds so that they can produce and profit more. A farmer believes (or maybe isn’t concerned at all) that since these seeds are made vendible/ available they also must be harmless…well, I am not a scientist
and I am not claiming this food is poisoning me, but I can’t foresee whether it will have any harmful effect on me or on people, plants and animals of future generations."
