This Street is Your Street 

based on words and music by Woody Guthrie

 

 

Chorus:

This town is your town, this town is my town

>From the terror warnings to the federal clamp down

>From the deportations to the detainees

This is for our own security

 

 

George Bush is smiling even while he's lying

Dick Cheney profits while our troops are dying

And all around me the voices sounding BUSH LIES

This is the land of liberty

 

 

As I went walking up to the Garden

I saw above me mounted police men

I saw below me the silver cop pens

New York was made for you and me

 

 

Chorus

 

 

The sun was shining and I was strolling

And the banners waving and the cop cars rolling

Five hundred thousand protestors chanting PEACE NOW

This land will vote for John Kerry

 

 

Now the oil is pumping and the globe is warming

And the choppers buzzing and the feds are swarming

And the cops are trapping all of us with netting

This is the land of democracy

 

 

Now I'm in holding in police detention

Since I got busted at the convention

While all around me from the barricades shouting DUMP BUSH

This land was made for you and me
