Edmund Looking for God Bless the USA parodies (9) RE: Looking for God Bless the USA parodies 21 Oct 03


These may not be quite on target, but this is the first chance I've ever had to broadcast them except to my secular humanist group when we were lookinmg for a theme song.

Godless America (Sorry about that, Irving Berlin)

Godless America, land that I love
In this season use your reason
Do not pray for a light from above.
Don't be weary. Test each theory. From the hard facts never roam.
Godless America, my home sweet home
Godless America, my home sweet home.

It's Not Just Your Land (Woody Guthrie might have approved)

It's not just your land, it's also my land
From the California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters –
This land was made for you and me.

While you were praying, I heard you saying
That you were claiming the whole dang nation.
By stick or carrot, you'll have to share it --
This land belong to you and me.

As I went walking, I heard you talking.
You said the godless   they just weren't welcome
Yet here there's room in, for the secular human
This land was made for you and me.

We've forsworn Islam and Shintoism
Escaped dominion by the Church of England
It is not treason to live by reason.
This land was made for you and me.

The Declaration of Independence
Was signed by many a godless patriot
So don't ignore us, join in the chorus –
This land was made for you and me.

It's not just your land, it's also my land
From the California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters –
This land was made for you and me.
