Never know its speed

The world is filled with people who are no longer needed
and who try to make slaves of all of us
and they have their music and we have ours
theirs, the wasted songs of a superstitious nightmare
and without their musical and ideological miscarriages to compare our songs of freedom to,
we'd not have any opposite to compare our music with
and like the drifting wind
hitting against no obstacle
we'd never know its speed,
its power...

Woody Guthrie
