Neil Young - Politician Lyrics






Come along and say you will,
Be the one to change the meaning
Of the writing on the wall
The lonely politician
is lying in the hall.

Come along and say you can,
Be the one to take this feeling,
I'll never understand,
Why walk around the center
With a nail through your hand?

It's another way to run,
It's a lonely weekend
And what have you done?
You know you got
a reason to run, babe
You know you got
a reason to hide, babe

Come along and say you will,
Be the one to change the meaning
Of the writing on the wall
The lonely politician
is lying in the hall.

It's another way to run,
It's a lonely weekend
And what have you done?
You know you got
a reason to run, babe
You know you got
a reason to hide, babe.

Come along and say you can,
Be the one to take this feeling,
I'll never understand,
Why walk around the center
With a nail through your hand?

Neil Young Politician Comments
  1. J.... K....

    Right on! Rock and roll is the ultimate political pry bar.nothing like a good old fuck you to the man

  2. O.... B....

    time is ?

  3. H.... ....

    'Rock stars shouldn't talk about politics'.  

    I've never heard a more ridiculous statement on politics since the last politicia....   Oh wait, nvm.   

    ><

  4. L.... R....

    Thank you Neil for calling it the way you see it!  Anyone who experiences the tar sands knows this is not progress.  It made me sick to my stomach when I visited the area a few years ago and I still have nightmares that any government would find this "acceptable" for human habitation  

  5. D.... ....

    Long Live Neil. Speakin out!!!!

  6. S.... M....

    Neil Young is the Forest Gump on the oil sands.  He is a mentally retarded man spouting off statistics that are completely false.  He talked about going to Fort McMurray and smelling the gas fumes and that is hilarious!  It's unrefined oil.  And the comparison to Hiroshima.  I don't see people in Fort McMurray dying of radiation poisoning.  I will never listen to Neil Young again.

    S.... M....

    Shove it.  Look side by side at a picture of the damage Hiroshima left on the environment, and look at the oil sands.   
    You pricks just can't seem to see past money and convenience, and you would be willing to take down the entire planet just to see what you erroneously refer to as 'progress'.  

  7. l.... w....

    Jian, little pudgy myself its winter store.. especially this winter.

  8. l.... w....

    Love it, keep on rockin in the new world Mr. Young

  9. m.... ....

    Its not about Neil its about greed and destruction...get it

  10. m.... ....

    you brain dead grease ball, wake the fuck up

  11. U.... V....

    Further: Thank you Jian for the interview!  And I would like to say that for "ALL those
    who will be hatin' on me" for my opinion...feel free. Just a reminder though, and of course only my opinion, but "hatred and anger" towards others says more about that person than it does their target. If WE do not stand up for the abused and downtrodden...then who will? Also, how's this great corporate world working out for you? Compassion for each other is our only remedy, in my opinion. Enuff said.

  12. U.... V....

    Finally...WTG Neil! It's about time that someone like you has spoken out loudly
    and clearly about this currently crumbling, Racist state of our "kinder and gentler, yet most hypocritical citizens/government".  "We" have blindly permitted and enabled this greedy Conservative Corporate Criminal Regime to continue. How, after all these years and with so much education can we permit our First Nations Peoples to remain so unsupported in fighting for their Dignity, their Basic Human Rights, and their Quality of Life? I AM CANADIAN, and I am ashamed! We help others in 3rd World countries during 'disasters', yet we let our own Indigenous Peoples ( many young commit suicide in some regions) for lack of HOPE. Thank you for your courage to speak out - no small feat! The time is NOW to look into our hearts for the well being of all marginalized peoples, and focus on "Lifting Everyone's
    Souls" to truly stand for and ACT for our greatest Teachers: our Elders, our Children,
    our First Nations Teachers - and not Corporate profits. Bless you 

  13. R.... P....

    I think Neil needs to track down these oil executives, pick up that axe, blast a little "Hey, Hey, My, My", and send these Satan's Spawn back from whence they came!  Keep on Rockin' Neil!!

  14. j.... t....

    Well said.

  15. I.... E....

    Anyone got any idea who Miley Cyrus & The Bieb are voting for next election?

  16. G.... B....

    good show, Neil telling it like IS.

  17. P.... B....

    Jian has gotten fat. 

    P.... B....

    I remember him tweeting about getting teeth out... I bet that's the swelling hahah

    P.... B....

    He had wisdom teeth pulled.

    P.... B....

    @Ryan Pretty He had his teeth removed so he could better perform fellatio.

  18. S.... ....

    Fuck off Neil! Go back to the US where you have lived for the last 50 years and worry about what's going on down there! Hippie bitch!

    S.... ....

    @SirJohnA If I believe that what the man says makes sense and agree with his viewpoint, how am I 'following' him?  I never came to my conclusions because of what Neil Young says, we are just two people who share a similar understanding of what problems we are due to face if we don't change the way we harvest our energy.  And what exactly does a Man's social position (rocker, banker, bum) have anything to do with the degree in which his knowledge mimics ones own?   

    Your blind as a banana buddy.  

    S.... ....

    Well if you honestly believe that Neil Young is an intelligent person that makes you twice the fool! He spouts incorrect data on the oil sands and makes asshole statements of the Indians rising up and drawing blood. Fuck Neil and all that follow his asshole hippie ways! Back to the USA Neil to deal with your chosen nations problems!

    S.... ....

    @SirJohnA Buddy, you couldn't make yourself look any more ignorant if you tried.  I said not a word about what I thought of Neil Young's intelligence, I only said we share a 'similar understanding' of what problems we are due to face if we don't change the way we harvest our energy.  
    Are you really so intellectually challenged you struggle to see the damage we are causing?    
    If you are the status quo, we have a dire situation indeed....  

    S.... ....

    @HappyHimitsu Work the shaft, cradle the balls, drink the gravy!

    S.... ....

    @SirJohnA tropic thunder, when jack black was tied to a tree, cool

  19. n.... ....

    If you have an audience who is listening to you and you see something in the world that isn't right, I believe you have a RESPONSIBILITY to say something. I completely agree with Neil Young in his stance against Harper and the pipeline. Sure it may help the economy in the short term, but what good will that do us when the environment is destroyed? 

  20. G.... E....

    So fucking smart.

  21. P.... A....

    Keep on Rocking! Neil Young!

    P.... A....

    Rocking as in his Lazy Boy.

  22. s.... ....

    Neil Young, the, erh, fucking legend that he is. 

  23. q.... o....
