Anyone else thinking that we need a patriotic song for the resistence?

After all, we love America - Even though we know that it has flaws.

I nominate this.

Because Sharon Jones was a complete bad ass and because this land was made for you and me

Like the song choice, but the original tune better than this one.

He said we have enough songs and suggested we use some of his father's songs, such as This Land is Your Land. I think we could include some of the verses that don't usually get sung.

I've heard that Woody Guthrie wrote a song about Fred Trump Sr. while he was renting an apartment in a Trump owned tenement in Brooklyn.

I've never heard it performed, but if the music and lyrics of "Mr. Trump" can be found I think it would be cool to play that
