South Africa

“All these blacks are
going to fight the whites…
and all these whites
are going to fight the blacks.

“I was born here. And, I love this land just as much as anybody else. They won’t kick me off this land. We will fight for it.”
-Louis

Blood and Land
(flyertunes ’08)

Every tribe upon the earth
Every institute of man
troubled by the scourge
Of love of blood and land…

All trouble on the earth
Every sword in every clan
Every woman every man
In the wars of blood and land.

Sherman marching to the sea
Buried heart at Wounded Knee
Nag a sa ki
All of history

This land is my land
This land is my land
From California to Palestine
This land was made for me and mine.

This land is mine (My father’s blood)
This land is mine (Buried in this mud)
This land is mine
From Rome to Palestine

In God’s name we took the land
And now it’s mine.
This land is my land
This land is mine

It’s always been so-
so you must go
Because our gun said so.
Because we said so
This land is mine.
