Living Off the Land
Million dollar homes were built
In what used to be
Our old corn field
Been up and down those rows
A hundred times
River swamps once filled with snakes
Have now become prime real-estate
Used to camp out on the bank
In the winter time
Let the dogs run at night
Farmers trading in their old farmalls
For SUVs and new cell phones
Don't get out of bed 'til after nine
And I think it's a crime
Selling out our way of life
Living off the land
But not the way our daddies did
Would they be proud
If they could see it now
What was handed down from generations
Is now owned by a corporation
It's time to take a stand
Small town stores are closing shop
Making room for new Wal-Marts
Auto parts and fast-food restaurants
Kids grow up and move away
Because they can't afford to stay
I don't think the gain is worth the loss
And it's all our fault
And it's time to count the cost
Living off the land
But not the way our daddies did
Would they be proud
If they could see it now
What was handed down from generations
Is now owned by a corporation
It's time to take a stand
Living off the land
But not the way our daddies did
Would they be proud
If they could see it now
What was handed down from generations
Is now owned by a corporation
It's time to take a stand
In what used to be
Our old corn field
Been up and down those rows
A hundred times
River swamps once filled with snakes
Have now become prime real-estate
Used to camp out on the bank
In the winter time
Let the dogs run at night
Farmers trading in their old farmalls
For SUVs and new cell phones
Don't get out of bed 'til after nine
And I think it's a crime
Selling out our way of life
Living off the land
But not the way our daddies did
Would they be proud
If they could see it now
What was handed down from generations
Is now owned by a corporation
It's time to take a stand
Small town stores are closing shop
Making room for new Wal-Marts
Auto parts and fast-food restaurants
Kids grow up and move away
Because they can't afford to stay
I don't think the gain is worth the loss
And it's all our fault
And it's time to count the cost
Living off the land
But not the way our daddies did
Would they be proud
If they could see it now
What was handed down from generations
Is now owned by a corporation
It's time to take a stand
Living off the land
But not the way our daddies did
Would they be proud
If they could see it now
What was handed down from generations
Is now owned by a corporation
It's time to take a stand
