It’s one variant of a folk poem from England during the time of the enclosures. There are a bunch of verses and variations, but that’s the first one I heard and the only I can remember. I like it as a concise reminder that large parts of our current status quo were first enacted violently on people who knew it was wrong and fought back constantly. People have been saying this shit for centuries, it’s just they all get killed for it
