This Land Was Our Land

Greetings!  I'm Nico Trimoff, manager of transcription and accessibility services at www.sterlingcreations.ca.
Today, I have a very sobering article to share with you.  One that will make you think and ponder about how things were.
I hope you find it of interest.
I'm Nico Trimoff wishing you a great day.

    This land was our land, but now it's their land,
    > From coast to coast, a most unfair land.
    > From the redwood forests, to the gulfstream waters,
    They stole this land from you and me.

 

    The Wall Street banksters and corporate cronies,
    The weapons makers, the Congress phonies,
    The liars and lobbies, and radio ranters,
    They stole this land from you and me.

 

    This land was our land, but now it's their land,
    > From coast to coast, a most unfair land.
    > From the redwood forests, to the gulfstream waters,
    They stole this land from you and me.

 

    In halls of Congress, where Corporate Tools lurk,
    To serve their masters, while all us fools work
    To feed our families, they count their campaign checks.
    They stole this land from you and me.

 

    This land was our land, but now it's their land,
    > From coast to coast, a most unfair land.
    > From the redwood forests, to the gulfstream waters,
    They stole this land from you and me.

 

    A bleeding soldier, dying in foreign sands
    Wonders why she was sent to far-off lands,
    As Exxon's profits set all-time records.
    They stole this land from you and me.

 

    This land was our land, but now it's their land,
    > From coast to coast, a most unfair land.
    > From the redwood forests, to the gulfstream waters,
    They stole this land from you and me.

 

    A young man dies in an E.R. ward,
    Health care payments were too high to afford.
    Insurance CO's jet to the Caymans.
    They stole this land from you and me.

 

    This land was our land, but now it's their land,
    > From coast to coast, a most unfair land.
    > From the redwood forests, to the gulfstream waters,
    They stole this land from you and me.

 

    The native people have always known how
    Their land was stolen, so what we feel now
    Is the cost of "progress" for corporate rulers
    Who stole this land from you and me.

 

    This land was our land, but now it's their land,
    > From coast to coast, a most unfair land.
    > From the redwood forests, to the gulfstream waters,
    They stole this land from you and me.
