Woody Guthrie 2023
The establishment will die and not a single soul will cry
When destruction finally finds its way to you
For the people you've exterminated, erased and oppressed
The black, brown, the poor, the foreign, the LGBTQ
Your politicians cling to loaded pockets
The old guard's getting older every day
And when you can't buy the silence of the people
You stomp and cry until you get your way
But the people you oppress are getting stronger
They're tired of waiting on you all to change
And if you try to take us from our homes
You'll end up no more than a bloody stain
Folks, you've got to get in there and make good trouble
This non-violent stuff will get you killed
And if you can't put yourself in that position
At least get out of the way of those who will
Let CEOs starve inside their palaces of gold
Let politicians fear the common man
Let every working person own their labor
And let freedom finally ring across this land
When destruction finally finds its way to you
For the people you've exterminated, erased and oppressed
The black, brown, the poor, the foreign, the LGBTQ
Your politicians cling to loaded pockets
The old guard's getting older every day
And when you can't buy the silence of the people
You stomp and cry until you get your way
But the people you oppress are getting stronger
They're tired of waiting on you all to change
And if you try to take us from our homes
You'll end up no more than a bloody stain
Folks, you've got to get in there and make good trouble
This non-violent stuff will get you killed
And if you can't put yourself in that position
At least get out of the way of those who will
Let CEOs starve inside their palaces of gold
Let politicians fear the common man
Let every working person own their labor
And let freedom finally ring across this land
