No Kings
Jesse Welles
No hatred, no violence No starvation and no greed
And no kings, no kings, No kings
No lies, no bullets No bombs and no need
But no kings, no kings, No kings
No walls, no judgments No oppression cowerin’
To kings, no kings, No kings
Every color, every culture Every language, every creed
And no kings, no kings, No kings
No more dyin’ in the clutches No more dyin’ underneath
No kings, no kings, No kings
No more dyin’ for the causes No one asked for, no one needs
And no kings, no kings, No kings
To all the dignity The love that they deserve and need
No kings, no kings, No kings
The pursuit of happiness The right to life and liberty
And no kings, no kings, No kings
No child going hungry For there’s plenty ‘nough to eat
With no kings, no kings, No kings
May I recognize your soul That you may see the soul in me
No kings, no kings, No kings
Close your eyes and listen So that you may truly see
No kings, no kings, No kings
That the killing of my foe Indeed, destroys a part of me
No kings, no kings, No kings
No hatred, no violence No starvation and no greed
And no kings, no kings, No kings
No Kings Here
Tom Paxton / Cathy Fink
No Kings Here, Not in my America
No Kings Here, Not in my USA
Got no need for royalty
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy
No Kings Here
[Verse 1]
George Washington was president
Not just once but twice
And when they offered him a crown
They gave him this advice:
[Chorus]
No Kings Here, Not in my America
No Kings Here, Not in my USA
Got no need for royalty
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy
No Kings Here
[Verse 2]
When Betsy Ross sewеd up the flag
She found one thing was truе
There was no room for purple
It was all Red, White, and Blue
[Chorus]
No Kings Here, Not in my America
No Kings Here, Not in my USA
Got no need for royalty
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy
No Kings Here
[Verse 3]
We had a king once, years ago
Back in days of yore
He showed us what kings were like
So we showed him the door
[Chorus]
No Kings Here, Not in my America
No Kings Here, Not in my USA
Got no need for royalty
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy
No Kings Here
Got no need for royalty
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy
No Kings Here
War
The Temptations
War, huh
What is it good for?
Nothing
War, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
War, huh, good god
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
War, I despise
‘Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers’ eyes
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives
I said, war, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
War, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
War, it’s nothing but a heartbreak
War, friend only to the undertaker
War, is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest within the younger generation
Induction then destruction, who wants to die?
Oh, war, huh, good God, y’all
What is it good for? (You tell ’em)
Nothing
War, good God, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, good God
War, it’s nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Wars have shattered many young men’s dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days
War can’t give life, it can only take it away
Oh, war, huh, good God
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, mhm
War, huh, good God almighty, listen
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, yeah
War, it’s nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding, tell me
Is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows it got to be a better way
I said
War, huh, yeah yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
War, huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
War, huh, nothing but a heartbreaker
What is it good for?
For What It’s Worth
Buffalo Springfield
There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are getting so much resistance from behind
Time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a-carrying signs
Mostly say hooray for our side
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
We better stop now
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
We better stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
This Land Is Your Land
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.
As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway;
I saw below me that golden valley;
This land was made for you and me.
I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding;
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking I saw a sign there,
And on the sign it said “No Trespassing.”
But on the other side it didn’t say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
This Little Light of Mine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine
Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine
Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
In my brother’s heart, I’m gonna let it shine,
In my brother’s heart, I’m gonna let it shine
In my brother’s heart, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
In my sister’s soul, I’m gonna let it shine,
In my sister’s soul, I’m gonna let it shine,
In my sister’s soul, I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
All around the world, I’m gonna let it shine
All around the world, I’m gonna let it shine
All around the world, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Down By The Riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield,

Gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
down by the riverside, down by the riverside;
gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
by the riverside.
I ain’t gonna study war no more.ain’t gonna study war no more,
ain’t gonna study war no more, I ain’t gonna study war no more,
ain’t gonna study war no more, ain’t gonna study war no more.

By Nils Lofgren

All You Fascists
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
I’m gonna tell you fascists
You may be surprised
The people in this world
Are getting organized
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose
Race hatred cannot stop us
one thing we know
Your poll tax and Jim Crow
And greed has got to go
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose.
All of you fascists bound to lose:
I said, all of you fascists bound to lose:
Yes sir, all of you fascists bound to lose:
You’re bound to lose! You fascists:
Bound to lose!
People of every color
Marching side to side
Marching ‘cross these fields
Where a million fascists dies
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!
I’m going into this battle
And take my union gun
We’ll end this world of slavery
Before this battle’s won
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!
