I was never a Neil Young fan. But even those with low-low expectations are likely to find appalling the lyrics (I havenโ€™t heard the, uh, melody) of his new big single, โ€œLetโ€™s Impeach the President,โ€ from his new, canโ€™t-miss album, โ€œLiving 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: โ€œDo they give a Pulitzer for songwriting?โ€

Letโ€™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

Heโ€™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

Letโ€™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 governmentโ€™s protection

Or was someone just not home that day?

Letโ€™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 heโ€™s racking down on steroids

Since he sold his old baseball team

Thereโ€™s lot of people looking at big trouble

But of course the president is clean

Thank God
