Sample lyrics from Neil Young’s upcoming album, Living With War:
Angry Young man
Back in the days of shock and awe We came to liberate them all History was the cruel judge of overconfidence Back in the days of shock and awe Back in the days of “mission accomplished” Our chief was landing on the deck The sun was setting on a golden photo-op Back in the days of “mission accomplished” – from Shock and Awe
Don’t need no Madison Avenue War Don’t need no more boxes I can’t see Covered in flags but I can’t see them on TV Don’t need no more lies
– from The Restless Consumer
Won’t need no shadow man Runnin’ the government Won’t need no stinkin’ WAR Won’t need no haircut Won’t need no shoeshine After the garden is gone
– from After the Garden
Lookin’ for a leader To bring our country home Reunite the red white and blue Before it turns to stone . . . Yeah maybe it’s Obama But he thinks that he’s too young Maybe it’s Colin Powell To right what he’s done wrong
– from Lookin’ for a Leader
