This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, well, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
I tell you, this land was made for you and me
As I went walking down the ribbon of a highway
I saw above me, oh, that endless skyway
Now I saw below me that golden valley
And I said, "This land was made for you and me"
As I was walking, no dare not to stop me
They put up a sign that said
Oh, it said "private property"
Well, on the back side, you know it said nothing
So it must be that side was made for you and me
One bright sunny morning, well on the shadow of a steeple
Down by the way I fell
I saw my people
You know my day hungry, homeless
I stood wondering
I was wondering if this land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From Riverside, California to the Staten Island
Well, oh down to West of Georgia
Oh, don't forget to say Philadelphia
Oh,down to Mississippi, oh, Houston, Texas oh, L.A.
You know this land is your land, this land is my land
This land is your land
This land was made for you
This land was made for you and me

Sharon's got some lungs
Thoroughly a stupid and annoying piece of idiotic music. This is what PSD is for. What a shitty sing.. 
This is a great version - pays homage to the radical message of Guthrie's original lyrics. I think he would love it.

Somewhere anyone reads this comment is someone that thinks you're an ignorant asshole.

Populist twist on a rural populist slice of working class Americana. Red state approved 👍🏽 🇺🇸

Wasn't the original written to protest nativism? I'm pretty sure that snowflake you refer to already hated the song.


Well, this is a better 'cover' of the commie anthem.
