"This Land is Your Land" by Woodie Guthrie

The message of the song is very individualist because of the repetition of the singular nouns "you","I", and "me". This emphasizes individuals rather than a collective whole.

This is an anti-government song because Guthrie sings of how "nobody can stop [him]" when encountering a "No Trespassing" sign; instead he says the back where there are no instructions "was made for you and me".
