Private Property

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.

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?

(Lines of protest against social inequality by Woody Guthrie in his “This land is your Land.” However, these verses -fourth and sixth- were often omitted in compositions and singing. We sing, write and discuss to maintain the social status quo. Will ever our singing become a revolutionary praxis that shakes the foundations...???!!!)
