Yes, as through this world I've wandered I've seen lots of funny men; Some will rob you with a six-gun, And some with a fountain pen
Left wing. Right wing. Chicken wing.
Life has a habit of not staying hitched. You got to ride it like you find it.
I know the police cause you trouble They cause trouble everywhere But when you die and go to heaven You find no policeman there
This machine kills fascists.
This land is your land, this land is my land
