“This land is your land, this land is my land.” was written by a pinko dip sh**. That little ditty was nothing less than an indoctrination song.
My favorite label for Guthrie and the rest of the folk singing communists is banjo Bolsheviks. Pete Seeger was actually more sickening.
He advocates trespassing on private property.
Here’s an improved version of the Comrade Woody song:
Out in the country, far from a highway
There is this land here, and it is my way
Don’t ever come here, or you’ll be sorry
This land was made just for me
This land is my land, it isn’t your land
I got a shotgun, and you ain’t got one
If you don’t get off, I’ll blow your head off
This land was made just for me
So keep away now, Don’t ruin my day now
My property’s private, you cannot buy it
Go find your own land, Just be a lone man
This land was made just for me
This land is my land, it isn’t your land
I got a shotgun, and you ain’t got one
If you don’t get off, I’ll blow your head off
This land was made just for me
Of course, when I first heard the Kingston Trio sing the original, it was part of JFK’s New Frontier, optimistic and looking forward. Different times.
