I was never a Neil Young fan. But even those with low-low expectations are likely to find appalling the lyrics (I havenโt heard the, uh, melody) of his new big single, โLetโs Impeach the President,โ from his new, canโt-miss album, โLiving with War.โ (No, this is not a parody.)
As you read this (posted by FoxNews), there will, of course, be only one question on your mind: โDo they give a Pulitzer for songwriting?โ
Letโs 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
Heโs 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
Letโs 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 governmentโs protection
Or was someone just not home that day?
Letโs 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 heโs racking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
Thereโs lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the president is clean
Thank God
