So the rent increase has got you down, and you can't afford to live in your own home town
  Well I bet everybody's feeling the same way
  Say you're feeling disconnected from the ground, private properties got you down
  Private properties got you shut out of your own world
  I was born here and I'm not going anywhere
  I was grown here and I'm not going anywhere
  This is my town, this is my ground, going to take it all back now
  And give it away to everybody
  Say your boss man had got you down, say her treats you like some kind of clown
  Say he treats you like he owns your soul
  Say the tax man has got you down, says he takes your money, leaves you sitting around
  Spends your money on bombs to promote peace and democracy
  I was born here . . .
  This land is their land, this land ain't our land
  It's based on greed and god and stealing people's land
  It's intimidation conquest and mutilation
  This land was stolen from you and me
  This land is their land this land ain't our land
  It was under the guardianship of the native american
  Who knew we belonged to the earth the EARTH DID
  NOT BELONG TO THEM
  We are merely guardians
  The other night dear as I lay sleeping
  I dreamt you held me in your arms
  But when I broke you were being tortured
  With concrete and cars and bombs
