Sugarcane
Sugarcane, or sugar cane, is one of the several species of tall perennial true grasses of the genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae, native to the warm temperate to tropical regions of South Asia and Melanesia, and used for sugar production. It has stout jointed fibrous stalks that are rich in the sugar sucrose, which accumulates in the stalk internodes. The plant is two to six metres (6 to 19 feet) tall. All sugar cane species interbreed and the major commercial cultivars are complex hybrids. Sugarcane belongs to the grass family Poaceae, an economically important seed plant family that includes maize, wheat, rice, and sorghum and many forage crops.
Sucrose, extracted and purified in specialized mill factories, is used as raw material in human food industries or is fermented to produce ethanol. Ethanol is produced on a large scale by the Brazilian sugarcane industry. Sugarcane is the world's largest crop by production quantity. In 2012, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates it was cultivated on about 26.0 million hectares, in more than 90 countries, with a worldwide harvest of 1.83 billion tons. Brazil was the largest producer of sugar cane in the world. The next five major producers, in decreasing amounts of production, were India, China, Thailand, Pakistan and Mexico.

Sugarcane
by: New Order(Verse)
From my head to my toes
I can hardly believe the things that I read are not
That it's hard, fly it in your plane and drive it in your car
You're a superstar, yes you are,
Signing autographs, making people laugh
You'll go far, clever boy,
Girls just wanna be with you, lawyers wanna deal with you.
(Chorus)
Why don't you wake up
And stop what you're doing right now?
You gotta be true.
You know you don't live forever
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
Wake up right now, stop what you're doing,
You've gotta be true,
You know you don't live forever,
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
(Verse)
Write a book about your life,
I can hardly believe the things that you need at home
With your wife, you treat it like a game, but this made you pretty fame
With perfect hair and your clothes,
It's just another day in a life of a superstar.
It's gotta be the way, it's the same, no matter who you are.
(Chorus)
Why don't you wake up
And stop what you're doing right now?
You gotta be true.
You know you don't live forever
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
Wake up right now, stop what you're doing,
You've gotta be true,
You know you don't live forever,
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
(Bridge)
Take care over what you do,
You gotta take care of what you are.
You gotta take care of what you're not,
You gotta take care of what you've got.
(Chorus)
Why don't you wake up
And stop what you're doing right now?
You gotta be true.
You know you don't live forever
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
Wake up right now, stop what you're doing,
You've gotta be true,
You know you don't live forever,
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
It's just another day in a life of a superstar.
It's gotta be the way, it's the same, no matter who you are.
It's just another day in a life of a superstar.
