Neil Young: Exclusive 'Impeach the President' Lyrics
Fox News ^ | 4/26/2006 | Roger Friedman

Posted on 04/26/2006 6:08:30 PM PDT by Uncledave

Neil Young’s new album, Living with War, is an incendiary, moving, totally American document of peaceful protest that is going to make a lot of people crazy one way or another.

And there’s no doubt that the centerpiece of the album, a song called “Let’s Impeach The President,” performed as a melodic, rocking, campfire ode will be what causes the most controversy.

{snip}

Here, for the first time, the lyrics to Neil Young’s “Let’s Impeach the President”:

Let’s impeach the president for lying
And leading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door

He’s the man who hired all the criminals
The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
And bend the facts to fit with their new stories
Of why we have to send our men to war

You know you are on the right side of an issue when an old commie hippie like this fellow does a who song against you.

Congratulations Mr. President.

I was thinking about that song just the other day, and how I was about 24 when I first heard it, but now I am the old man. How did that happen so fast? Still, I was never anything like he was, or is.

Why is he mad at Bill Clinton?

Or, the Henry Mello Center. How about the Windjammer?

Man, what a dive...

His lyrics have gotten to become ridiculous childish tripe.

It sounds like a poem some high school drop out tree hugging moron would write.

oh wait...

OK, Neil, here is a take for you:

Four Planes Coming

W/o apology to Neil Young (Four dead in Ohio)

Four planes with ragheads coming
They've finally met their call
That morning we heard them coming
Thousands died in the fall

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers can save us all
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And all that she had done
How can they claim, they did not know?

Osama and Saddam were coming
Salmon Pak was their home
In Sudan they heard the drumming,
but no one picked up the phone.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers can save us all
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And all that she had done
How can they claim, they did not know?

Tin Soldiers and Clinton's coming
We're finally on our own
In April we heard the drumming
Cult dead outside Waco

Neil Young sucks. He sounds like an old grandma singing on her porch and his lead guitar sounds like a cat being choked with a vice grip.

For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected Dividing our country into colors

When someone claims to have had "their" religion stolen that's a sure sign they probably don't have a clue about Christianity.

Whoo boy! I remember when this guy was really good.
These lyrics are so pedestrian and juvenile it's pathetic. Absolutely nothing clever, witty, or artistic about them at all. Downright high-schoolish. On one level I'm disappointed that this is apparently what Neil's writing has sunk to these days. (It's tough to see the heroes of our youth getting too old to cut it anymore.) On the other hand I'm glad there's nothing to worry about as far as this silly little ditty catching on. Whew, that's for sure.

Amazing what years of heroin can do to the brain

The really sad part is that his brain was fried before the drug usage.

Hey Neil... tell us again... who'd you vote for in '00 and '04?

Oh, I see.

Still, I was never anything like he was, or is.

Which, of course, is the most important point!

and the last sentence of the story is: More on Thursday morning about this extraordinary and eye opening new recording

Say again!

those are the lamest set of lyrics I have ever seen...Is it too many years of drugging or Alzheimer's - maybe both?

Sort of like a donut with a hole in the middle.

LOL. I gotta remember that one.
