“Earth is not ours. We are of the Earth. That’s how I feel. When we plunder our own home we hurt our children and their children after them. I feel responsible. I like to say thank you for the precious gift we have, so when the Wolf Moon rose, I said thank you with this little song.”
Neil Young (Posted on his Facebook)
Official video of Wolf Moon, a new song from the soon to be released “The Monsanto Years,” with Neil Young & The Promise of the Real (with the Nelson Brothers, Lukas and Micah Nelson).
Official Music Video for “A Rock Star Bucks A Coffee Shop” by Neil Young + Promise Of The Real from the upcoming New album ‘The Monsanto Years’ , available on June 29th.
Judge for yourself. As always, the whistling is nice.
Unofficial lyrics
If you don’t like a rock star bucks a coffee shop
Well you better change your station cause that ain’t all that we got
Yeah, I want a cup of coffee but I don’t want a GMO
I like to start my day off without helping Monsanto
Monsanto, let our farmers grow What they wanna grow
From the fields of Nebraska to the banks of the Ohio
Farmers won’t be free to grow what they wanna grow
If corporate control takes over the American farm
With fascist politicians and chemical giants walking arm in arm
Monsanto, let our farmers grow What they wanna grow
When the people of Vermont voted to label our food with GMOs
So that they could find out what was in what the farmer grows
Monsanto and Starbucks grew the Grocery Manufacturers Alliance
It sued the state of Vermont to overturn the people’s will
Monsanto — and Starbucks — others want to know
What they feed their children
Monsanto, let our farmers grow What they wanna grow
Neil Young and Promise of the Real performs Down by the River, among other songs, on May 23 at Charley’s, a small bar in Paia, Maui. He was there for the March Against Monsanto event.
Neil Young has just revealed the track list and album cover for his next album, The Monsanto Years, due out June 29.
The album is a collaboration with Promise of the Real, a band that includes Willie Nelson‘s sons Lukas and Micah.
According to Brian Ives, writing at Radio.com, here’s the tracklist for The Monsanto Years.
Neil Young The Monsanto Years Tracklist
1. A New Day For Love
2. Wolf Moon
3. People Want To Hear About Love
4. Big Box
5. A Rock Star Bucks A Coffee Shop
6. Workin’ Man
7. Rules Of Change
8. Monsanto Years
9. If I Don’t Know
The album cover is a painting of Young with a woman who looks to be his current paramour, Daryl Hannah, posed in a tribute to “American Gothic.”
And it’s unlikely that you’ll hear the album on the sound system at your local Starbucks. That’s because the first single, “A Rock Star Bucks a Coffee Shop” is a bit critical of the chain. You can watch the video at Democracy Now; the song includes lyrics like “Yeah, I want a cup of coffee but I don’t want the GMOs/ I’d like to start my day off, without helping Monsanto” (tip: to see the clip, fast forward to about 26:30 into the video).
Young and Promise of the Real kick off a U.S. tour July 5 at the Milwaukee Summerfest. See the tour dates Rebel Content Tour
“Americana, Young says. The new album, he says, \"has a choir in it that sings with Crazy Horse. A very young choir of children. They\'re songs we all know from kindergarten, but Crazy Horse has rearranged them, and they now belong to us.\"” by -- Neil Young campaign 2012 with Crazy Horse on Rolling Stone, February 2, 2012
