Woody Guthrie - Alabama 3

Loadin' up another round

While the NRA in Columbine

Hunt Marilyn Manson down

Powder in the Pentagon

Cruel letters in the mail

Some KKK white supremacist

Cooking up a dose of race hate

I don’t need no country

I don’t fly no flag

I cut no slack for the Union Jack

Stars and stripes have got me jetlagged

Some baby in Afghanistan

Cryin' for it’s mama now

While the BNP scare refugees

Senseless up in Oldham town

Hypocrites in Downing Street

Pourin' petrol on the flames

Septal cries asks Paddy why

Do we always get the blame

I don’t need no country

I don’t fly no flag

I cut no slack for the Union Jack

Stars and stripes have got me jetlagged

Sing a song for the asylum seekers

For the frightened baby on some foreign beach

Bang a gong and pray they reach safe harbour

Some mother in Jakarta

Lays down her weary head

In some free trade zone compound

Where they work you till you’re dead

Hunger stalks the corridors

Famine and disease

I’ve seen the multinationals walking hand in hand

With globalising marketeers

I don’t need no country

I don’t fly no flag

I cut no slack for the Union Jack

Stars and stripes have got me jetlagged

Sing a song for the asylum seekers

For the frightened baby on some foreign beach

Bang a gong and pray they reach safe harbour
