Freeway through a reservation
Make way for a brand-new nation
Big ideas, we got brand new plans
Heaven knows we need this land
We're gonna build: big, high, and wide
City streets through countrysides
Chemicals and pesticides
This land is our landHey redman, don't waste our time
We're young and strong and got hills to climb
There's a lot of room, but we need it all
For slave trade and shopping malls
We're gonna build big factories
For paper plates and plastic trees, styrofoam and antifreeze
This land is our landThis land is our land
This land is our land
This land is our land
This land is our landWe came out on the raging sea
To claim some place that we'd be free
We got hopeful hearst and working hands
Heaven knows, we need this land
'cause the world needs land fills, diet pills, and paper mills
We need country clubs and oil spills
This land is our landThis land is our land
This land is our land
This land is our land
This land is our landFreeway through a reservation
Make way for a brand-new nation
Big ideas, we got brand new plans
Heaven knows we need this land
For Super Bowls and subway rides, remote controls, and pesticides
Gang-related homicides
This land is our landThis land is our land
This land is our land
This land is our land
This land is our land

Really enjoy this song. Lyrically a bit more clever than Mellencamp. Musically similar.

Liking all this new to RP 'stuff'
