Neil Young: Exclusive 'Impeach the President' Lyrics
Wednesday, April 26, 2006

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

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 Quaeda 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 racking 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

Thank God

More on Thursday morning about this extraordinary and eye opening new recording…

1. Now there's an immigrant that needs to be deported

:sarcasm:

I can hear them now...

[blm]

9. Neil Young...Neil Young....sounds French...get rid of him.

.

[Pachamama]

40. Well, he's Canadian you know...probably French Canadian!

:eyes:

[orleans]

2. apparently he got a good review:

"For now, though, here are the lyrics many parents are going to be hearing their kids singing in the next few days. Young has been clever enough to write the catchiest protest song since Country Joe and the Fish’s anti-Vietnam ditty, “I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ to Die.” "

[megatherium]

5. many kids will be hearing their parents sing it too. nt

[IndyOp]

33. A student caught me singing Pink's newest the other day --

College students are always a little confused when someone middle-aged recognizes the singers they like...

Pink's "Dear Mr. President"
How can you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How can you dream while a mother has no chance to say goodbye?

Lot's more good stuff, but those are the two lines that keep playing over and over in my mind.

:hi:

[Pachamama]

41. OMG! I'm so excited about this song & album being released!

Between Pink's "Dear Mr. President" and now this song! I too have been singing the song from Pink all day long everyday and I just ordered it off of Amazon.com! It gets delivered tommorrow! For me, in the Pink song, its not just those two lines, its also the line of "What do you see when you look in the mirror? and "How can a father take his own daughters rights away? and How can a father hate his own daughter if she were gay?" and "Want to talk about hard work? How about minimum wage with a baby on the way? How about building a bed out of a cardbox? - You know nothing about hard work!"

:hi:

25. Musicians Have Historically Changed Polices & War-time Opinions

We were the front-runners right during the Viet Nam war. Eastern Europe was very impressed and followed our lead, hence the Beatles and other famous groups. Back in those days, the tee-vee & most newspapers reporters did just that - reported, not o'pioned.

Think of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance."

Now one can see why the neo-con's slowly bought all the media.

[Gato Moteado]

36. i don't think the neocons bought the media.....

...i think the corporations did.

the neocons are people like horowitz. they're people that were radical lefties in the 60s but developed a view of how things should be in the middle east and latched into the repuke party during the reagan era. they don't own much of the media, but they do have a stranglehold on how we're handling foreign policy, especially regarding the middle east.

[incapsulated]

3. Yes, let's!

:)

Can't wait for Friday!

[Jack Rabbit]

4. Are they going to call for Neil Young to be deported and then sing . . .

"Bomb Canada" from the movie South Park?

[smoogatz]

30. "Blame Canada," isn't it? eom

[Jack Rabbit]

37. I think you're right

Well, "Bomb Canada" would be the Bushie version.

[smoogatz]

39. Nothing they do would surprise me at this point.

Especially what with them Canuckians legalizing gay marriage and marijuana and whatnot...

[Ian David]

6. He forgot Poland.

Neil Young is unfair.

We need to balance this with a declaration of all the good things Bush has done.

For example, he made the telemarketers stop calling.

Okay...

That's all I can think of.

[alfredo]

7. Is that better or worse than making

the trains run on time?

[banana republican]

11. hUMMMMM GOT TO THINK ABOUT THAT ONE... N/T

[SpiralHawk]

13. Bush failed on telemarkers, too. Like everything else he

has ever "attempted."


They still ringing their horseshit up at my Wigwam.

[Ian David]

14. Did you sign-up for the Do Not Call list?

Also, make sure you visit their site and follow the instructions for turning them in and for making sure they know not to call you.

I've only been bothered by two companies:

MCI Worldcom and DirecTV.

Both of those got their heads handed to them by the FCC.

[OnionPatch]

42. There are some exemptions from that law

Non-profit organizations. And somehow every freakin' one of them has my telephone number!!!

It's almost worse than people trying to sell me something because they are mostly all for good causes. I don't feel right just hanging up on them or telling them to get lost but I just can't afford to give to them all.

[fooj]

20. Yep.

Mine, too.

Peace.

[dpbrown]

8. Kicked and recommended

Thank all that is good for Neil Young!

[ShortnFiery]

10. Kudos! Neil Young's "Impeach The President"

:applause:

[wiley]

12. Southerners Respond real well to Neil Young

Historically at least. I wonder how many people and or stations will get really f*cked over for even playing Neil Young now? It's not like we live in a Democracy anymore.

[DesertRat]

21. You're kidding right?

Southerners have hated Neil Young ever since his scathing "Southern Man".
Personally, he's one of my favorites.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

23. Bullshit

That song actually did very well in the South and concerts by Neil Young sell well to this day in the South.

[BrightKnight]

24. concert would sell out in Dallas

Classic rock is very big here.

[DesertRat]

32. no need to curse at me

I'm speaking from having lived in Georgia in the early 80's. Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" addressed the anger toward Neil Young.

[JerseygirlCT]

35. And only succeeded in exposing them... nt

[wiley]

45. No, I'm not.

We no longer live in a Democracy. And all "Southerners" have not hated Neil Young since Southern Man. The angry apologists may have commandeered all discussion and reaction to Neil Young, but Southerners are not monolithic.

[BlueManDude]

15. Young has more integrity in a particle on his toenail...

than that whole filthy FoxNews crew could ever hope to have.

Fight on Neil!!

[Rex_Goodheart]

16. Help!

Is there anywhere on line I might watch this music video?

And what about Pink's?

[Dr Fate]

17. My old Uncle Neil comes through again.

Rock on Uncle Neil!!!

[graywarrior]

18. I dunno, if I were a freeper, I would not mess with this guy

[DesertRat]

19. k&r

:kick:

[BrightKnight]

22. Will not take long to float to the top of iTunes and Rhapsody - n/t

[AuntiBush]

26. Fox News?

Don't watch the station at all. Have *they* changed their political policies in recent times? Or this just an online piece?

Anyone know?

[BrightKnight]

27. inoculating the Kool-Aid drinkers

The were trying to inoculate the Kool-Aid drinkers. They told them he was Canadian.

It won't work. They just sound like old Auntie Freeper. Neil Young is popular with a lot of repugs too.

[dooner]

34. Fox says Young is "Canadian" and a "drug user"!

Both sounded equally offensive, thanks Fox.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

44. I can't handle watching Fox anymore, so I've just seen the Web Site...

...but if you look at Huffington Post and the Michael Moore site today, they are both linking directly to the same article I posted. Interesting that Fox should place themselves at the center of it.

Meanwhile, on "Imus In The Morning" today (MSNBC) Don Imus mockingly read the lyrics, said they were "imbecilic," and his lackey Bernard McGuirk called Young a "burned out old Canuck." Show regular Rob Bartlett, in character as a fake blues singer, and called for his death, among other things. Imus said "You don't mean that" and Bartlett replied "Oh yes I do."

[Mr_Spock]

28. Kicked & recommended

Good work Neil - we're all waking up from a deep sleep...

[grannylib]

29. Eager to hear the tune, and I love Neil, but I think we are WAY beyond

impeachable offenses here.
I think they should all be tried for treason.

[zulchzulu]

31. Great lyrics...can't wait to play the tune on the street

It looks like it has a good beat and is easy to dance to...

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

38. Those lyrics are astonishing...they clearly describe the crimes and

treason of this administration.

My husband and I are anxiously awaiting the release of this album! MKJ

[OnionPatch]

43. Awesome! I love it.

I hope the tune is catchy. I'm so excited about this because I'm one of his greatest fans. I couldn't think of another artist I'd rather hear this kind of song from.

As for him being Canadian.....he's lived in the US for forty years! He's married to an American and his children are Americans.

I heard Fox News talking about how he was "bashing the country that made him rich." ....Isn't it something the way Republicans assert that bashing the president is bashing America? (With that reasoning, they hated American intensely from 1992 to 2000) If Young didn't love this country, he wouldn't give a crap about how Bush has abused it.
