Danke, Neil Young
am 28.04.2006 von Heimspiel
Neil Young ist seit 25 Jahren einer meiner musikalischen Helden. Nun hat er innerhalb von 3 Tagen ein Album geschrieben, daß sich nur mit dem Krieg im Irak und den Machenschaften des Bush-Regimes befasst - Living with War. Ein agressives, ein mutiges, ein patriotisches Album des geborenen Kanadiers Young.
Ein Song ragt besonders heraus:
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
Thank God
(Neil Young, aus Living With War, 2006)
