This Land Was Made for You and Me

Happy 4th of July, everyone. Enjoy this day wherever you are in this beautiful world. These are the lyrics to one of our new songs. We finally get to share this live on Friday and we can't wait! When I wrote this, I was afraid it might be obsolete by the time we were able to share it. Unfortunately, this song still resonates with me every day. Here's to the hope that there may come a day when these lyrics are ancient history!

 

My Land
by Stoneface Honey
Watch where you're walking, you might step on a crack
and then we'd have to break your sweet mama's back.
And watch how you're talking, you might say something that you'll later regret.
When we got you out back. 
And we ask for your papers and your card. 
Then we revoke them and drag you out to the yard.
Welcome to the land of the free and the brave.
We can't help you any longer, I'm afraid.
We don't give a damn where you go. Just as long as you ain't here no more. 
This is my land. Created just for me. The white and the wealthy man.
This is my land. Created just for me, me, me.
It's the rise of the white and the wealthy man.
Burn all your textbooks, we don't need them anymore. 
I will tell you what you need to know.
Oh and spy on your neighbors, you can't trust them anymore.
You just never, you never know.
If you're pretty enough, we might let you pass.
Just as long as you let me tap that sweet ass.
Welcome to the land of the free and the brave.
We can't help you any longer, I'm afraid.
We don't give a damn where you go. Just as long as you ain't here no more, more, more
This is my land. Created just for me. The white and the wealthy man.
This is my land. Created just for me, me, me.
It's the rise of the white and the wealthy man. 
And I will save my friends, build my legacy.
I will rape the land cuz it belongs to me.
And don't you, don't you ever worry.
But don't you ever step out of line.
Never mind the man behind the curtain.
Move along, move along, move along, move along, MOVE ALONG.
Welcome to the land of the free and the brave.
We can't help you any longer, I'm afraid.
We don't give a damn where you go. Just as long as you ain't here no more. 
This is my land. Created just for me. The white and the wealthy man.
This is my land. Created just for me, me, me.
It's the rise of the white and the wealthy man.
