What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
July the fourth in the market town
2
Farmers have come for miles around
3
Bringing their wives and children.
4
A farmer stands with his youngest son
5
Watching their sheep driven from the pen
6
The slaughterhouse is waiting.
7
Look they're turning back
8
They're frightened
9
Dogs are snapping at their heels
10
Jumping on each other's backs
11
Hear their squeals.
12
The young boy stands looking quite dismayed
13
How can they know they're just animals
14
Come pull yourself together.
15
The farmer tells him to look inside
16
Row after row of raw carcasses
17
Their blood runs in the gutters.
18
Listen to their silly bleating
19
Farmer beats them with his stick
20
Milling by the open door
21
Don't be sick.
22
The young boy
23
Takes a look around
24
See people watching blankly
25
And he pities them
26
For they too
27
Look like sheep
28
And he tells himself
29
When he grows up
30
When he becomes a farmer
31
He will just plant seeds of love
32
He will just plant seeds of love
33
He will just plant seeds of love
34
And he will harvest peace
