Phil Ochs - The Power and The Glory [with "controversial" verse] (1963)

I'm surprised that nobody has ever put this version on YouTube. This is a demo recording from the Broadside Tapes. A remix with orchestral instrumental and vocals including the "controversial" verse (with slightly different lyrics) can be found at https://youtu.be/q7oJJAK_cAI.

This version is special because it has an additional, so-called "controversial" verse that was not included in later studio recordings and live versions of the song:

But this land is still troubled by men who have to hate.
They twist away our freedom and twist away our fate.
Law is their weapon and treason is their cry.
You can stop them if you try.

Phil later thought the verse didn't fit in with the overall patriotic theme of the song, so he omitted it in all later versions. Kind of similar to the "no trespassing" verse in Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land". This is the only known recording with the additional verse. A remix version with the orchestral instrumental and the additional verse can be found at https://youtu.be/q7oJJAK_cAI. The lyrics are slightly different from this version, the main difference being "fear" taking the place of "law".

To people who are interested, the "controversial" verse starts at 1:42.
