This land is your land.
This land is my land.
Let us hate no one.
Let our minds be open.
You say "Land of the free."
You mean "for people like me."
"I'm a straight white man."
"I am an American."
What about the ladies?
Not the potential babies.
Care more about us.
Not just the fetus.
What about the colored people?
They're not all illegal.
They're human too.
Believe me, it's true.
What about the transes
Who deserve second chances?
A human named Nex was just killed,
And their murderers still live.
What about the gay men?
And the lesbians?
There's more people than you.
Now let's do a review.
This land is your land.
This land is my land.
It's 2024.
Don't start a civil war.
This land was made for you and me.
Inspired by the song by Woody Guthrie
