Songs For Our Times-Build The Resistance-Woody Guthrie's "Mister Charlie Lindbergh" (The Old Time America First Guy)-For D. Trump And S. Bannon

Songs For Our Times-Build The Resistance-Woody Guthrie's "Mister Charlie Lindbergh" (The Old Time America First Guy)-For D. Trump And S. Bannon  

During, let’s say the Obama administration or, hell, even the Bush era, for example  we could be gentle angry people over this or that notorious war policy and a few others matters and songs like Give Peace A Chance, We Shall Overcome, or hell, even that Kumbaya which offended the politically insensitive. From Day One of the Trump administration though the gloves have come off-we are in deep trouble. So we too need to take off our gloves-and fast as the cold civil war that has started in the American dark night heads to some place we don’t want to be. And the above song from another tumultuous time, makes more sense to be marching to. Build the resistance!

Mister Charlie Lindbergh Words and Music by Woody Guthrie Mister Charlie Lindbergh, he flew to old Berlin, Got him a big Iron Cross, and he flew right back again To Washington, Washington.  Mrs. Charlie Lindbergh, she come dressed in red, Said: "I'd like to sleep in that pretty White House bed In Washington, Washington." Lindy said to Annie: "We'll get there by and by, But we'll have to split the bed up with Wheeler, Clark, and Nye  In Washington, Washington." Hitler wrote to Lindy, said "Do your very worst."  Lindy started an outfit that he called America First  In Washington, Washington.  All around the country, Lindbergh he did fly,  Gasoline was paid for by Hoover, Clark, and Nye  In Washington, Washington. Lindy said to Hoover: "We'll do the same as France: Make a deal with Hitler, and then we'll get our chance." In Washington, Washington.  Then they had a meetin', and all the Firsters come, Come on a walk and they come on a run, In Washington, Washington.  Yonder comes Father Coughlin, wearin' the silver chain, Gas on his stomach and Hitler on the brain. In Washington, Washington. Mr. John L. Lewis would sit and straddle a fence, But his daughter signed with Lindbergh, and we ain't seen her since In Washington, Washington. Hitler said to Lindy: "Stall 'em all you can,  Gonna bomb Pearl Harbor with the help of old Japan." In Washington, Washington. Then on a December mornin', the bombs come from Japan, Wake Island and Pearl Harbor, kill fifteen hundred men. In Washington, Washington Now Lindy tried to join the army, but they wouldn't let him in, Afraid he'd sell to Hitler a few more million men. In Washington, Washington  So I'm a-gonna tell you people, if Hitler's gonna be beat, The common workin' people has got to take the seat In Washington, Washington. And I'm gonna tell you workers, 'fore you cash in your checks: They say "America First," but they mean "America Next!" In Washington, Washington.
