 Knock On The Door

Phil Ochs; sung and Updated

by Ben Grosscup (~1 min in)

 

In many a time, in many a land

With many a gun in many a hand

They came by the night,

they came by the day

Came with their guns to take us away

 

With a knock on the door,

knock on the door

Here they come to take one more,

one more

 

Back in the days of the Roman Empire

They died by the cross

and they died by the fire

In the stone coliseum,

the crowd gave a roar

And it all began with that

knock on the door

 

Just a knock on the door,

knock on the door.

Here they come to take one more,

one more

 

The years went by and we reached modern times

The Nazis came with their

Nazi war crimes

In the din of silence

where freedom had drowned

Eleven million people

heard the same sound

 

Of a knock on the door,

knock on the door

Here they come to take one more,

one more

 

2026 New lyrics…

Now there's many new words and many new names

Uniforms have changed but the knock is the same

The agents of ICE broadcast their raids

They’re trying to make the people afraid

 

Of a knock on the door,

knock on the door

Here they come to take one more,

one more

 

Resist the goons

of the strange orange clown

From South Minne-aplis

to here in our town

Open your eyes. See what they do

WHEN THEY KNOCK FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR, THEY’RE KNOCKING FOR YOU!

 

With their knock on the door,

knock on the door

Here they come to take one more,

one more

 

 


 This Land Is Your Land –

Song by Woody Guthrie 
 
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.


As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway:
I saw below me that golden valley:
This land was made for you and me.


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.


I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me.


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.


When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.


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.

 Your Daughters & Your Sons

By Tommy Sands 

 

They wouldn't hear your music
and your paintings they pulled down,
they wouldn't read your writings
and they banned you from town.
But they couldn't stop you thinking
and a victory you've won,
for you've sowed the seed of freedom in your daughters and your sons.

Chorus:

In your daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons,
sowed the seeds of freedom
in your daughters and your sons.

Your weary smile it proudly hides
the chain marks on your hands,
as you bravely strive to realize
the rights of every man.
Though your bodys bent and low,
a victory you've won,
for you've sowed the seed of justice in your daughters and your sons.

In your daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons,
sowed the seeds of justice
in your daughters and your sons.

I don't know your religion
but one day I heard you pray,
for a world where everyone could work
and children they could play.
Though you never realized
what a victory you've won,
for you've sowed the seeds of equality
in your daughters and your sons.

In your daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons,
sowed the seeds of equality
in your daughters and your sons.


With your pink hats and your banners
you invaded Washington
From Boston down to Charlottesville
you stood up to hate and guns.
The next generation
You showed them how it's done
You sowed the seeds of action
in your daughters and your sons.


In your daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons,
sowed the seeds of action
in your daughters and your sons.


From Parkland & from Sandy Hook,
From Columbine to here
Our kids are only asking
for Classrooms wihtout fear
And though it still may take a while
it's progress they have won
For minds are being opened by
Our daughters and our sons

In your daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons,
sowed the seeds of progress
in your daughters and your sons.

 


SINGING FOR OUR LIVES
By Holly Near
 
We are gentle angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are gentle angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
 
We are a land of many colors
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a land of many colors
And we are singing, singing for our lives
 
We are gay and straight together
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are gay and straight together
And we are singing, singing for our lives
 
We are a peaceful loving people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a peaceful loving people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
 
We are a justice seeking people, 
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a justice seeking people, 
And we are singing, singing for our lives
 
We are young and old together,
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are young and old together,
And we are singing, singing for our lives
 
We are a gentle loving people,
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a gentle loving people,
And we are singing, singing for our lives

 

 

 

 

The Star-Spangled Banner Lyrics 

Composed by John Stafford Smith

Lyrics by Francis Scott Key

 

O say can you see,

by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed

at the twilight's last gleaming,

 

 

Whose broad stripes and bright stars

through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched,

were so gallantly streaming?

 

 

And the rocket's red glare,

the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night

that our flag was still there;

 

O say does that star-spangled

banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free

and the home of the brave?
