Let's Impeach the President...Why was this written??
 

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

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 lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the president is clean

obviously neil young wants the president to be impeached. i knew that before i opened the topic.

that is pretty gay

Political songs are better when their not so blatent

It's a shit song, yes, but Bush is pretty shit. He just has nothing going for him at all.

I like these lines....

Thank god he’s cracking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team

Any owner that had players beefing up on steroids knew damn well what was happening as well did the GM's, trainers, and other players on the team. If you don't know, Bush owned the Texas Rangers and Canseco (who admitted steroid use) along with Ivan Rodriguez and Juan Gonzalez (whom Canseco alludes to have used steroids with him) all played on Bush's team. Anyway, the main point is that he should be more concerned about the environment, the poor, the war, finding an alternative fuel etc. etc. instead of addressing such a "huge" problem of steroid use during his State of Union.......and seriously let baseball handle it's own problems you douche.

Ha ha.

Asking why that song was written is like asking why humans shit. The key question is : Why the hell was this thread started?

Neil Young sucks. Question answered.

Yeah because he's so mainstream.

Neil Young is great.

I hate politics. its so insignificant and pointless...

No. Pretty much because he bores me.

Listen to the Dead Man soundtrack and try and say that.
I am not a huge Neil freak, but that soundtrack is amazing.

Yeah, his music tends to be boring when you are online 24/7 and have to listen to it through computer speakers, I agree.

I've been on the internet for 30 minutes today.

Yeah, maybe so, but I believe your alarm clock went off about 30 minutes ago.

Good one.

Im 16, and i really dont feel like getting involved in politics right now. All the pictures of conservative talk show hosts ive seen are these angry looking fat slobs with lots of stubble. Michael Moore looks like this too. Im thinking that maybe the more you start getting pissed over these things, you start getting fat and stop caring about personal hygeine. This is not what i want.

O ya, its pretty goddamn obvious why this was written. Could it be... he wants Bush impeached??
