Magic kingdom, right at Main
Shattered link, food chain
Tomorrowland in a plastic can
Monsanto: your house of the future

In a working class Alabama town
Childhood leukemia found
Mercury poisons the stream
Monsanto Chemical don't know a thing
Not a thing

Amber waves of greed
In greed we trust

Minnesota genocide
Birth defects, pesticide
Roundup spray, village green
Monsanto Chemical deny everything

Big business muscles flex
Blind eyed FDA inspects
Par for the course no one suspects
Monsanto: your house of the future

Amber waves of greed
In greed we trust
Against the grain

You'll seed your fields
How we tell you to
You'll feed your cows
What we sell to you

Inject growth hormone
Into the seed you sow
You'll eat and feed and seed
But you never

Know how far the tentacles reach
From the greed that feeds inside
How far the invasion sweeps
Monsanto...

Grab your girl and climb aboard
Monsanto hayride
Plant the seed, breed the greed

Plant the seed Monsanto brings

Magic kingdom, right at Main
Shattered link, food chain
Tomorrowland in a plastic can
Monsanto...

Close your eyes, ignore the lies
A power play no one denies
Systemic failure demands supply
Monsanto: your house of the future

Amber waves of greed (Poison the well)
In greed we trust (Poison the well)
Against the grain (Poison the well)

You'll seal your fate
How we want you to
You'll feed your children
Our frankenfood

The future's now
Reap what we sow
Mutate the future
And then we'll watch you grow

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
