Jesus Christ was a man who traveled the land. Hard working man and brave. He said to the rich give your goods to the poor. So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.
-Woody Guthrie
And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
-Malvina Reynolds[I think. It's been recorded a lot]
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that Washington never told a lie.
I learned that soldiers seldom die.
I learned that everybody's free.
And that's what the teacher said to me
-Tom Paxton [I like Seeger's version better]
