"All You Fascists" ~ Woody Guthrie http:///lyrics/all_you_fascists.htm All You Fascists Words by Woody Guthrie, Music by Billy Bragg I m gonna tell you fascists You may be surprised The people in this world Are getting organized You fascists bound to lose Race hatred cannot stop us This one thing we know Your poll tax and Jim Crow And greed has got to go You fascists bound to lose. All of you fascists bound to lose: I said, all of you fascists bound to lose: Yes sir, all of you fascists bound to lose:! You fascists: Bound to lose! People of every color Marching side to side Marching cross these fields Where a million fascists dies You fascists bound to lose! I m going into this battle And take my union gun We ll end this world of slavery Before this battle s won You fascists bound to lose!

"Old Man Trump" ~ Woody Guthrie http:///lyrics/old_man_trump.htm Old Man Trump Words by Woody Guthrie, Music by Ryan Harvey I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts When he drawed that color line Here at his Beach Haven family project Beach Haven ain't my home! No, I just can't pay this rent! My money's down the drain, And my soul is badly bent! Beach Haven is Trump s Tower Where no black folks come to roam, No, no, Old Man Trump! Old Beach Haven ain't my home! I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both Welcoming you here to Beach Haven To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place To have your kids raised up in. Beach Haven ain't my home! No, I just can't pay this rent! My money's down the drain, And my soul is badly bent! Beach Haven is Trump s Tower Where no black folks come to roam, No, no, Old Man Trump! Old Beach Haven ain't my home! *The recorded version of this song is available on itunes.
"This Land Is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie http:///lyrics/this_land.htm Page 1 of 4 This Land Is Your Land Words and Music by Woody Guthrie This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York island; From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and Me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway: I saw below me that golden valley: I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding: 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: As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back
