FYI guys, the song was originally written by US folk singer Woody Guthrie in 1940. In 1955, Canadian folk group The Travellers created new Canada-centric lyrics for the first verse.

It does not matter what color he is, tom is saying what we need to hear and as a people we have to understand the messages that he sings about, for every man woman & child who has been and who will be we have to take care of the real terror threats in our country the government and the media have lied to us for years and more people like tom need to take an active stand for the common man.

O for fucks sake. Why in the hell does EVERY video with Audio, Rage, or Tom, or Cornell have one of these dumbass comments. Rage was great at the firey fuck the government stuff, but that's ALL de la Rocha could do. Audio was a LOT more versitile. They were both great, don't compare the two, they're not even comparable, one is a rap/rock political group, the other is a pure hard rock group. It's apples and oranges, shut the fuck up about the two and enjoy the excellent music.

Tom does a rippin' cover of this song. Still not as good as Springsteen's though. Springsteen's version is absolutely exhilarating to listen to.

@smailtronic I know, we Canadians would sing it in elementary school, no kid would understand and because we sang it in school kids dont think it's real music.
