Synister Dane and the Kickapoo Disco Cosmonuts: Music/Lyrics
Lookin' Back (La Farge, WI)
(Parody of “Luckenbach, TX (Back to the Basics)” by Chips Moman, B. Emmons, Universal-Songs of Polygram OBO Vogue Music)
There are only two kinds of farms in this land that we’re livin’
Big corporations and those that are failin’
The way that we’re raisin’ food in this world ain’t right
To keep your farm you’ve got to put up a fight
Maybe it’s time we got back to sustainable farms
Let’s go to La Farge, Wisconsin with Synister Dane and the Band
This miserable life we’re livin’s got us fuedin’
with Al-Queda - Taliban’
Between George Bush’s war songs and Saddam Husein’s wrongs
The economy is spinning down the drain, out in La Farge, Wisconsin
Ain’t nobody seein’ no change.
So baby let’s sell your SUV
And put some land in CRP to pay our debt
This farm bill yoke is killin’ me
Neighbor’s auctions getting me so upset
We’ve been so busy keeping up with the Clones
Ten thousand cows and they’re still building barns
Baby, it’s time we got back to sustainable farms
We’re talkin organic farmin’ like grandma and grandpa used to do
Raised us up on 40 acres
we weren’t afraid to eat the food
Between Tysonization and globalization
Well, the farmer’s rights are turnin’ wrong,
Out in La Farge, Wisconsin, we’re
Havin’ a protest sing-along
Out in La Farge, WI, we’re
Havin’ a protest sing-along
