Well it looks that a-way to me.

Let me be known as just the man that told you something you already knew.

I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose.

Statement quoted in Prophet Singer: The Voice And Vision of Woody Guthrie (2007)

We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do.

I ain't a communist necessarily, but I been in the red all my life.

Wherever little children are hungry and cry,
Wherever people ain't free.
Wherever men are fightin' for their rights,
That's where I'm a-gonna be, Ma.
That's where I'm a-gonna be.

Tom Joad (1940)
