Help me out. What pro-TPP song would Woody Guthrie sing?
Why do I ask? Oh, because on some discussion forum I contribute to, there's actually someone pimping pro-TPP talking points posting under an avatar that looks a little like this:
This pro-TPP shill posting under Woody's avatar has me convinced. I mean, if Woody were alive today, wouldn't it be logical that his guitar would read "This machine kills progressives"? And wouldn't he begin his song "All You fascist anti-TPP Progressives Are Bound To Lose" first with a group hug from multinational CEOS and US Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue, and then boldly declare, "Well, we'll show these fascist progressives who are against the TPP what a couple of hillbillies can really do...!"
Give me some Woody Guthrie pro-TPP song titles and lyrics, please.

Dear FSM, the Huntington's may be setting in! 
When I published "This Land Is Your Land" in the 40's:
"This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin’ it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don’t give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that’s all we wanted to do."
what I really wanted to say was: I want those royalties paid to Ludlow Music Corporation for 120 years!!!
and when i wrote:
"There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me"
what I really meant was, how the hell do you expect to attract corporate dollars without investor-state tribunals?
And how the hell do you expect to attract multinational corporations without keeping the details classified!!

When the landlords abuse you, or sadly misuse you,
I'm jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
I'll send down the police chief to keep you from mischief,
Singin' I'm jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
