Verse 1
Well, my tractor’s bright lime green, wasn’t it dark before?
And my barn’s roof used to be red, now it’s white for sure.
The milk caps are a rainbow, can’t tell skim from whole,
And my corn rows zigzag like they’re out of control.

Chorus
Oh, my farm is confused, and I don’t know why,
Cows are mooing louder than a train rollin’ by.
Fence posts flipped, hay rolls round, it’s a real déjà vu,
If it’s the Mandela Effect, what’s a farmer to do?

Verse 2
Crop circles in the fields, aliens or my dream?
And my square hay bales are round now, what’s it all mean?
My chickens turned from white to red, struttin’ like they’re proud,
And the windmill lost a blade, spinning slow but loud.

Chorus
Oh, my farm is confused, and I don’t know why,
Cows are mooing louder than a train rollin’ by.
Fence posts flipped, hay rolls round, it’s a real déjà vu,
If it’s the Mandela Effect, what’s a farmer to do?

Bridge
Now Massey Ferguson’s logo changed its shape,
Egg yolks went from pale to orange, I can’t escape.
Sweet potatoes showing up like they’ve always been,
This Mandela farming’s got me questioning kin.

Verse 3
Sheep wool used to be white, now there’s black in the flock,
And overalls with three straps? That’s just a crock!
Potatoes look suspicious, I’m losing my cool,
Did I wake up on a farm run by alternate rules?

Chorus
Oh, my farm is confused, and I don’t know why,
Cows are mooing louder than a train rollin’ by.
Fence posts flipped, hay rolls round, it’s a real déjà vu,
If it’s the Mandela Effect, what’s a farmer to do?

Outro
So I’ll hitch up my boots and tend to this land,
Even if it feels like it’s got a glitchy hand.
Reality’s shifting, but the work stays true,
‘Cause this farmer don’t care, I’ve got chores to do.

Tagline
Yeah, my farm’s confused, but I’ll make it through,
When the cows get milked, that’s how I know things are true.
