This land was your land, and this land was my land
From California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
Now this land belongs to WM and Republic Services
As I went walking that Maple Avenue
I heard a robot voice scream, Hey you!
I saw before me, my last moment
Now this land belongs to WM and Republic Services
I roamed and rambled, and I've followed my footsteps
To the garbage dump down on Hannan
All around me, a fire was burning
Now this land belongs to WM and Republic Services
There was a big, high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted said "Private Property"
But on the backside, it said they may use Deadly Force
Now this land belongs to WM and Republic Services
When the sun come shining, I saw an eagle dying
The forests burning, politicians lying
The voice was chanting as the smoke was lifting
Now this land belongs to WM and Republic Services
This land was your land, and this land was my land
From California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
Now this land belongs to WM and Republic Services
