[bsr2025]

8. sing!!!

This Land

*
This land ain't your land, this land ain't my land
It's all been bought by them corporations
They're gonna drill it, they'll log and mine it
Then sell it back to you and me

While I'm out walking beside the highway
The sky above's so dark and smoggy
That I can barely make out the mansions
Them homes won't made for you and me

Out in the fields in our dirty dungarees
We're out to pick them organic veggies
But all the brown folks been put in handcuffs
This land ain't made for you and me

I walk the city, I pound the pavement
I ask a black man for just one cigarette
And then a policeman rolled up and choked him
His voice echoes, "I can't breathe"

Now all the women is birthing babies
Because they don't own their own bodies
And their own babies can't hope for nothing
If they ain't got no pedigree

Can you hear Woody? Can you hear Jesus?
Billie Holiday or Public Enemy?
Can you hear Spanish down on Thirteenth Street?
Them songs was sung for you and me

[other verses, as needed]

Now don't despair but let's start our singing
Let's get out marching and all petition
Them folks in power to do what's right now
This land was made for you and me!

*
There ain't no kings here. It's only us folk
And every last one must get their one vote
Don't let them buy it, don't let them steal it
This land was made for you and me!
