The Power and the Glory

A patriotic song by Phil Ochs - the original version with the "controversial" last verse. Other versions omit the last verse. No doubt Ochs, being a pinko, meant that last verse differently than I take it today, but doesn't it fit what we're facing now?

lyrics to the “controversial” verse ...

<>

But this land is still troubled by men who have to hate

They twist away our freedom and twist away our fate

Law is their weapon, and treason is their cry

You can stop them if you try
