communism ftw! :p

guthrie's original style, not the version that became popular!

of course.

I've always liked the fact that it was written as kind of a caustic response to "God Bless America"

probably after having to say "I pledge allegiance to the flag..." every morning for a good amount of years, it sort of helped me understand USA's anthem is the best... ;)

Anyway, though I can not express in words my hate towards the frech people/country, I have to admit that their national anthem, otherwise known as "La Marseillaise" is probably one of the better ones.
