Father Johnny Appleseed, woke up from a long night's sleep The dawn rose in the year of our Lord, Two Thousand and another score He cast his eyes out o'er the land, what he beheld he couldn't understand Every seed that he had sown, plundered and in the thresher thrown Though twisted through the years, his words in the valley rang He raised his weary ears, and he heard that song they sang... I will thank the Lord, for the Lord's been good to me (hey!) He's given me, the things I need Like the acid rain and my factory (hey!) With every seed I sow, discord and watch it grow (hey!) It gives rise in me, the height of glee To see how far I fell from the apple tree... (hey!) He rose to journey 'cross the land, A felling axe held in his hand "It's time to claim my kingdom back, They'll rue the day they crossed my path..." Through prairie wide and hollow deep, They've sown seeds of duplicity So until I've settled all my scores, Call me Johnny-Goddam-Apple-Core Though twisted over time, his message on the wall He raised his weary eyes, and he read that wretched scrawl... I will thank the Lord, for the Lord's been good to me (hey!) He's given me, the things I need Like the acid rain and my factory (hey!) With every seed I sow, discord and watch it grow (hey!) It gives rise in me, the height of glee To see how far I fell from the apple tree... (hey!) I will thank the Lord, for the Lord's been good to me He's given me, the things I need The sun and the rain and the Appleseed... With every seed I sow, vengeance and feel it flow (hey!) It gives rise in me, the height of glee To raise my flag in victory (hey!)
