Theo hakola's " This land is not your land " is a song that made changes to the melody of American folk song " This land is not your land by woodie Guthrie.
Hakola's version offers a critical perspective on some aspects of American society.

In this song hakola's lyrics focus on issues like the prevalence on private prison,the complexity of health insurance and environmental deregulation.
