This Land

I been lotsa places
learned a lotta songs
learned what's right
learned what's wrong
I seen a lotta men
met a lotta women
adults and children
all kinds a good folks

A good man once said
This is everyone's land
Yours and mine too.
But seems clear to me
getting run from place to place
that the boots come up
and run me off
more than welcome mats come out
    cant do that here
    Private Property   
    Need a Permit

This land is yers,
if you buy it.
Then you can make yer own rules

If I had money, tell ya what I'd do
I'd buy a big plot a land, and share it with you.
let you run all around,
lay on your back, look at the clouds
makin friends with everyone,
under the sun, on our land.

Seems our biggest problem these days
is nobody wants to share
Nobody wants to share what they got
Not the burden of the wars we fought
Nobody wants to share the debt
Seems all anyone wants to share is an argument.

If a country is the people who make it,
we're not gonna make it long.
Seems we oughta change somethin.
Don't ask me what.
Maybe next election's politicians can tell you what we need.
They done so good so far.
