Now they Emsay we live in freedom, have the Aright to speak and choose But the Emonly time you’re really free is when they tCake it all from DyouChorus:
There’re Emtakin’ all my lAand out from unDder me But it Emain’t for the Abetterment of socieDty Some Gbusiness men who pCaid off the rDight jury &Em judge Made it Glegal for them to Dtake my Aland from DmeI’ve been Dlivin’ my simple Alife for oh so loDng now
I’ve Agrown old and nEmow my row is tough to Dhoe
I Dsell my boiled Apeanuts on my Dlot just off the road
But you’d Embetter hurry down my Afriends they’re Emcomin’ Afor my Dsoul
Now I’ve Dgot nowhere to go and Arest my tired Dbones
And Athe cash they put into my Emhands was really anD insult
And while I Dspend my final Adays livin’ Din my poverty
The Emlaw is on their Aside to Emsteal my Aland from Dme
Now they Emsay we live in freedom, have the Aright to speak and choose
But the Emonly time you’re really free is when they tCake it all from Dyou

Em A D Em A D G C D Em G D A DWhen the Dfounding fathersA wrote the words of Dthis land
They Asaid it was by, for andEm of the people’s Dhand
SomeDwhere someone must’ve Agiven those words a tDwitch
What they Emreally meant to Asay: it’s of and Emby and Afor the rDich!
There’re Emtakin’ all my lAand out from under Dme
But Emit ain’t for the Abetterment of socieDty
Some Gbusiness men who pCaid off the rDight jury &Em judge
Made it Glegal for them to Dtake my Aland from Dme
I’ve been Dlivin’ here since the Aday I was conDceived
Feels Alike I sold my Emland for a pocket full of Dbeads
I sDympathize with all you Anatives becauDse now I see
I can’t Emstop them – there’re Atakin’ my land from Dme
I can’t Emstop them – there’re Atakin’ my land from me
