This Land Lyrics by MDC

Shades of Brown

0

[Intro]
I think about how lucky we are, Al
I say God bless America (Yes, God bless America)
And not just rich, greedy people, not just
(Oh, I wouldn't say God bless
Bomb it, there's rich, greedy people, don't you?)
That's not what I was trying to say here, Al
I think we should dedicate this to people, to regular people
Native American people this land was stolen from (Ah)

[Verse 1]
This land is your land, this land is my land
From Love Canal to Three Mile Island
From Livermore Labs to the offshore oil rigs
This land was made for you and me

[Verse 2]
As I was walking (As I was walking)
The strip-mined valleys (The strip-mined valleys)
Into the city (Into the city)
The piss-soaked alley (The piss-soaked alley)
I felt kinda sickly (Felt kinda sickly)
Kinda Love Canal-ly
This land was made for you and me

[Verse 3]
This land is your land, this land is my land
But tell the truth, man, it's all the landlord's land
Wants money in his hand, or call the policeman
This land was made for you and me

[Verse 4]
This land is your land (Well, it's not my land)
This land is my land (It was once the Indians' land)
From California (Where they got smog, man)
To the New York island (You'll get mugged or murdered)
From the redwood forest (Pool decks and patio furniture)
To the Gulf Stream waters (Hold your nose)
This land was made for you and me

[Verse 5]
You ask how we can do this to Woody, man
We know he'd understand and mourn the poison land
With head held in dismay at Prince William's death bay
Our fondest respects to Mister G!

[Verse 6]
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
This land was made for you and me
This land was made for you and me
