Sometimes TV is NOT [...] the opium for the masses (Karl Marx)

American original
This land is your land This land is my land
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and Me.
Canadian Variation
This land is your land, This land is my land,
From Bonavista Vancouver Island
From the Arctic Circle to the Great Lakes waters,
This land was made for you and me.
