Private Property
Once there was a country
Nobody owned it.
No private property.
Someone put up fences.
Claimed it
Set up a defences.
Once there was just land.
Now it’s law –
People are banned.
It was the robber barons.
Seized it by force
With their cannons.
We still pay them for our land
As they get richer
And live life so grand.
Once there was a country
Nobody owned it.
No private property.

We’ve become so accustomed to the situation. But the land used to be as free as the air and water. It was seized by force.
It is now owned by a few. The Queen owns 1,960,000 acres. Where did she get it from? Who gave it to her?
When did the land become owned?
