Yeah,
I said the red man said to the white man
If you're gonna survive in this new land
It's gonna take a little more than all the
gunpowder
And lead you can float on that big Mayflower
It's gonna take more than that flag on this rocky shore
Here's you some corn,
clear them fields and hold some rows
He put up a fence and built an old scarecrow
Now here we are 400 long years later
Yeah we're coast to coast,
10 billion acres From California down to Florida to New York
We just covered in corn Yeah we box it,
stock it,
microwave and pop
it And boil it after we've shucked it out on
the front porch Some steam it,
cream it,
sack it up and feed
it to the chickens,
cows,
sows and the wild boars
All thank the
Lord
for corn

He boiled it and ran it through a roll
of copper Yeah,

down on the floor Blame it on the corn
Yeah we box it,
stock it,
microwave and pop it And boil it after we've shucked it out
on the front porch Some steam it,
