farmer oh farmer where did your farm go
to the realtors in the city to build those new condos
in the fields of canola, where your tractors used to roam
on the land your grandfather stole?
stacks of money piled to the sky
tower over fallow fields and cast onto them their shadows
toxic tailings, leaky ceilings, black mold growin’ up the walls
desecration rights to the highest bidders
the mayor sips his coffee with some millionaires at the mall
briefcases full of demands and their chequebooks of course
a round of handshakes and they leave grinning ear to ear
and tomorrow they send in the tanks
farmer oh farmer where did your farm go
to the realtors in the city to build that new shopping mall
in the fields of canola, where your tractors used to roam
on the land your grandfather stole?
It's true I played bass on this album and some other Moledebater EPs. Many of these songs are close to my everyday life. Like when I'm cleaning up garbage and think "whose mess you gonna clean up"? Graham Janz
I'm on this album too. Why not, right? But I shouldn't take too much credit, if you read the credits. I cut my hair and Ben and Marshall stopped hanging out with me until it grew back. Graham Janz
Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2020
