Pete Seeger - Plow Under lyrics

Remember when the AAA k**ed a million hogs a day? Instead of hogs it's men today. Plow the fourth one under. [Chorus:] Plow under! Plow under! Plow under Ev'ry fourth American boy. They said our agricultural System was about to fall. So from Washington they sent a call. Plow the fourth one under. [Chorus] The price of cotton wouldn't rise, They said, "We've got to fertilize." So now on us they turn their eyes. Plow the fourth one under. [Chorus] They said our system wouldn't work Until we k**ed the surplus off. So now they look at us and say. Plow the fourth one under. [Chorus] Any ignorant mule does know Better than to step on a cotton row But there ain't no mules in Congress, So plow the fourth one under. [Chorus] Now the politicians rant A boy's no better than a cotton plant But we are here to say you can't Plow the fourth one under. [Final Chorus:] Plow under, Don't you...plow under Don't you...plow under Every fourth American boy. Now, don't you...plow under, Don't you...plow under Don't you...plow under Every fourth American boy
