Lou Reed — Future Farmers of America

[Verse 1] Born on a farm in a transatlantic moonlight Split like a cord of wood my family broke up Sold like a piece of steer, a piece of meat, a cow A breathing piece of shit [Verse 2] Picked for my age, for my strength and make up Called for I was tall, I was big, I could hold up A tree or a piece of steel I could do What my fat owner can't [Chorus] Ah, future farmers of America Future farmers of America Future farmers of America [Verse 3] Ah I'm always watching the way his wife looks me over I have a sex twice as big as her husband's If I wasn't so large, so strong, so pale I'd disappear under a bush [Verse 4] Colorless men and ladies of the world unite Kill your master with one cut of your knife Kill them during sex, kill them during talk Kill them whenever you can [Chorus] Future farmers of America Future farmers of America Future farmers of America [Verse 5] These stupid black owners are foreigners to affairs of the heart Look at me, I'll never own land that I work on Every one of us here shares a surname This father must die [Verse 6] I was born on the dark cusp of twilight My father was dark, my mother was light Look at me, I'm strong I could crush him in my fist [Outro] Ah I could crush him in my I could crush him in my I could crush him in my fist I could crush him in my I could crush him in my I could crush him in my fist Future farmers of America I could crush him in my fist Future farmers of America I could crush him in my fist Future farmers of America I could crush him in my fist
