My Anthem of Resistance

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Land_Is_Your_Land
Bruce Springsteen's rendition of "This Land is Your Land" by Woodie Guthrie.
Lyrics: 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. As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me. I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond desert And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me. When the sun came shining, and I was strolling and the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting This land was made for you and me. Nobody living can ever stop me As I go walking my freedom highway Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me. In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple; By the relief office, I'd seen my people. As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking, Is this land made for you and me? As I went walking, I saw a sign there; And on the sign there, it said, 'No Trespassing.' But on the other side; it didn't say nothing! That side was made for you and me.

We need more Springsteen, Guthrie, Seeger, et al. Music has motivated people since the begining of this country.

"What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! Germans?

What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh?

"Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this.

We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons. But that could take years and cost millions of lives. We're just the guys to do it.

LET'S DO IT!"

enoughwhining: Good point, thank you for bringing it to my attention. Hopefully all people who live here at present will have a voice and remember our responsibility to take care of it and respect one another. thank you

[EnoughWhining]

I'm sure the 'native Americans' would agree with you if they still had a voice left...

[maggothon]

Yes, it is beautiful isn't it; and it is OUR land...our ancestors came here to live according to the democratic ideals of personal freedom from despots who would take those rights from us, it seems some of us have gone astray..therefore it is up to the people to reclaim what is theirs. Time to take a stand.
