Hayseed (album)
Hayseed is the twelfth album and ninth studio by American singer-songwriter Susan Werner, and was released in 2013 (see 2013 in music). The project was commissioned by the University of Nebraska's Lied Center for Performing Arts. The album is a concept album about people and lifestyles in farm towns in rural America, with songs inspired by local characters.
Werner, an Iowa native from a farming family, has taken a strong interest in promoting local and sustainable agriculture, themes which are dealt with on the album in songs such as "Herbicides" about herbicides and marriage equality and "Snowmobiles" about global warming. The album was initially funded through PledgeMusic, with ten percent of donations earmarked for Practical Farmers of Iowa, the Midwest Organic and Sustainability Education Service (in Spring Valley, Wisconsin), and The Land Institute. Before and after the album's official release, Werner began touring the country in a series of shows called "The Hayseed Project", in which she purchases, samples, and gives away local produce before or during her shows.

Hayseed
by: This Or The ApocalypseIt doesn't matter if we ever unlearn this -
It's still looking pretty bleak,
It's still looking pretty dim.
We couldn't keep ourselves from these painful habits,
And never asking for more.
I can't stop, I can't slow down.
Moving towards the end -
No faith, no trust, no hope.
I can't stop. I can't stop.
Just relax, I got a rope around my neck to break my fall.
We are the flies trapped in a moving car,
Helpless while we're searching for scraps.
And we have watched you all exhaust yourselves underneath the entropy,
A severed arm's length apart.
I can't stop, I can't slow down.
Moving towards the end -
No faith, no trust, no hope.
I can't stop. I can't stop.
Just relax, I got a rope around my neck to break my fall.
Wake up, do it again.
Wake up, do it again.
They paved the road for us so we could break our backs.
Our ambition tied the knot so we could clear our heads.
I can't stop, I can't slow down.
Moving towards the end -
No faith, no trust, no hope.
I can't stop. I can't stop.
