about

Inspired by participation in the Musicians Against Monsanto protests, Riot Crop is a song about food justice issues and the havoc that large agribusiness is wreaking on natural systems' ability to support life in the long term.

lyrics

RIOT CROP

Break out Scratch up through the scorched earth’s crust
Hungry for Light, starving cracked seed, doused by greed
Disfigured Mutilated strain bread away from grain
Evil humans, spreading disease, a rampage of maladies

Riot Crop root out the round up Riot Crop
Riot Crop get it from the ground up Riot Crop [x2]

Violent departure
Evolutions stepdaughter’s heirlooms stripped away
Repressed reproductive depletion
Jailed cells bound in chains

Leaves of dominion
Ache for sun
Gassed by chloroform
Sewing rows of dissidence
Harvesting the resistance

Riot Crop root out the round up Riot Crop
Riot Crop get it from the ground up Riot Crop [x2]

Seeing double We’re in trouble Where are all the bees?
Sick and starving Growing nothing Agent of deceit
Food went digital Lost the original Forgot to save the seed
NERV damage Bovine wreckage Chemicasualties
No! Stop Monsanto!

Cross scarred barren fields
of labor’s bygone yields
Dry wings of death bear the husks
Swords plowshares killed

Dusters crash Dusters burn
Spurring earth abortions
Petrol subsides nitrates return
soil’s base intentions

Riot Crop root out the round up Riot Crop
Riot Crop get it from the ground up Riot Crop [x2]

Seeing double We’re in trouble Where are all the bees?
Sick and starving Growing nothing Agent of deceit
Food went digital Lost the original Forgot to save the seed
NERV damage Bovine wreckage Chemicasualties
No! Stop Monsanto!

By the time it was evident
Kraft foods was president
Obese gods gutted each other

The condition was permanent
Fake nutrition supplements
the only life supporters

Soil leeched of Minerals
Diminished residuals
Monocrop ruled supreme

High fructose corn bullets
Rained on the innocent
Elements turned enemy

Secretive GMOs
Blocked all the exit holes
Soylent replaced any green

Infertile fertilizer
was all that we paid for
with the soul of the future

Sparrows to gallows
the land all laid fallow
left for the love of no other

Bury the patents
Uproot the unnatural
for the love of your mother

about

The NERV image

The NERV San Francisco, California

A new generation of Punk is rising, infused with what originally made Punk Rock great –raw power, combined with a socially conscious worldview. Fronted by powerful female vocals, The NERV packs a punch with their heavy, driving beats and brutal, in-your-face instrumentation combined with provocative lyrical content.

If politics has got you down, The NERV is an anecdote. ... more
