l.a. county commission on human relations - this land - the bricks lyrics

boys and girls
come and lend me your ears
this prophecy i tell will bring you to tears
like a brave new world
where only two faces appear
one hypnopaedic voice of your fears
drowning in the melting pot, you’ll disappear
in the full light we’re told to appear
unless we embrace the difference

i don’t know what i’ve been told
there’s a + another world beside my own
i must be living in another unknown time zone
seek healing from the blindness that confines you
step on into a different pair of shoes
open up your mind to another’s views

this land is my land
this land is your land
you’ve got what i want
and i want what you have

this land is my land
this land is your land
you’ve got what i want
and i want what you have
i want what you have

great america, ‘merica
where everyone will stare at you
get judged by appearances and rarely your character
savages, savages, barely even humans
we all come from immigrants
sick of insolent ignorance
i reminisce instances where king saw a vision
now i see raw emission of modern mccarthyism
the nation that forces assimilation
enter the chops
the melting pot takes welting shots from ignorant cops
when will it stop?
this tongue+in+cheek makes my stomach weak
i hungrily wonder if famished minds are gonna eat
what’s it gonna be?
are we gonna keep pretending?
never seeing an ending?
as we keep on defending our own identity
so who’s the true enemy?
discriminating practices counteracting the activists
matter fact, it’s the transience that i have and the planet spins
so i’d have to ask you to reconsider whose land this is

this land is my land
this land is your land
you’ve got what i want
and i want what you have

this land is my land
this land is your land
you’ve got what i want
and i want what you have
i want what you have

país de inmigrantes
país de estados unidos
pero un país que se ha olvidado
de los sueños
de los niños
mujeres inmigrantes
que cruzó la frontera
para ser la mano overa
de un país que lucha en una guerra ajena

so america, ‘merica
tell me why you treat me like an alien, alien
make me feel like i don’t have a chance in this skin i’m in
make me feel like i should bleach what’s already pure
ms. liberty –
the tired, hungry, and poor in front of me
have fallen at your feet, all willingly
but the torch in your right hand
only serves to burn them where they stand

this land is my land
this land is your land
you’ve got what i want
and i want what you have

this land is my land
this land is your land
you’ve got what i want
and i want what you have
i want what you have

this land is my land
this land is your land
you’ve got what i want
and i want what you have

this land is my land
this land is your land
you’ve got what i want
and i want what you have
i want what you have

this land is my land
this land is your land
this land is my land
and this land is your land
this land is my land
but that there land is your land

this land is my land
i want what you have
