Lyrics

What America do I live in if not this one? What do they think they are exporting? it's not me This land is my land where ever I stand Only that money belongs to thee! The riot of history, our history of riots And the life you've strangled out of the word 'free' Liberty ain't an airport in Newark and towers don't need to be free You drop the 'e' in equality Something nice in a high end catalog Never sent to the likes of me This land is my land where ever I stand What god has made let no man lease, let no man lease! Some of the phrases in that rhetoric you're stuttering Must mean the opposite to you than it does to me Yeah being scared and confused is a part of freedom Is that what you wanted me to get out of that speech? Is there another America than the one I live in Then why do I get their TV? This land is my land and you should understand that when you say 'we' Can't you see? Or can you? Can you see? That the America you live in is not this one And you don't protect or represent me This land is my land but from where I stand outside the gated communities I can see There is another America than the one I live in And what they're exporting is me This land is my land, where ever I stand See you in the funny papers from the penitentiary! This land is my land where ever I stand and you'll never take it away from me! This land is my land but from where I stand outside the gated community! [?] Land is my land where ever I stand and you'll never take it away from me! This land is my land and I mean goddamn, you're embarrassing me!
