..."wait, I didn't really mean it."
Neil Young's new album "Living with War" is getting much attention mostly for the song "Let's Impeach the President". It's not exactly original. Think Ted Kennedy put to music. A sample:
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
Let’s impeach the president for spying
On citizens inside their own homes
Breaking every law in the country
By tapping our computers and telephones
What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees
Would New Orleans have been safer that way
Sheltered by our government’s protection
Or was someone just not home that day?
Let’s impeach the president
For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected
Dividing our country into colors
And still leaving black people neglected
Thank god he’s cracking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
There’s a lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the president is clean
Thank God
As the erudite reviewer for Fox News said, "Living with War" promises to be an "extraordinary and eye opening new recording..." and "many parents are going to be hearing their kids singing [Let's Impeach the President] in the next few days."
Well...not exactly...
