It should be illegal or something to sing “This Land Is Your Land” without the secret verses

You took one of the greatest hobo anthems ever written and turned it patriotic. That’s basically a war crime.

Secret verses??!??

At the beginning:

As I went walking that endless bread line My landlord gave me a 2-week deadline And Labor Action ran a better headline: “This land was made for you and me!”

This land is their land, it isn’t our land From the plush apartments to the Cadillac car land From the Wall Street office to the Hollywood star land This land is not for you or me

So take your slogan and kindly stow it If this was our land, you’d never know it So let’s get together and overthrow it ‘Cause this land was made for you and me

And then in the middle:

As I went walking, I saw a signpost And the sign said “No Trespassing!” But on the backside, it didn’t say nuthin ‘Cause that side was made for you and me

Holy shit.

American folk singer Woody Guthrie, who wrote other songs such as Tear The Fascists Down, All You Fascists Bound To Lose, Miss Pavlichenko, and like 6 tributes to Sacco and Vanzetti, was what you might call a “communist”

He also wrote a scathing song about Fred Trump’s asshole landlord behaviour

Yeah, that Fred Trump
