We Take Care of our Own: Peace Song for 3/8/2012

“We Take Care of Own“, by Bruce Springsteen, is the Peace Song of the Day for March 8th. On his live triple album, Springsteen introduces his cover of his hero Woody Guthrie‘s “This Land Is Your Land” on his triple live album as an “angry response to Irving Berlin‘s “America the Beautiful“.

Excerpt from lyrics:

From Chicago to New Orleans
From the muscle to the bone
From the shotgun shack to the Superdome
We yelled “help” but the cavalry stayed home
There ain’t no-one hearing the bugle blown
We take care of our own
