Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young



I went and saw CSNY last week the 17th of July at Red Rocks. Unfortunately, Kim was not up for the show so my friend Adam when with me. What a great show. They played all their big hit plus a ton of new left-wing political songs from Neil Young's "Living with War" album. The highlight must have been the new song "Let's Impeach the President". The crowd went wild for it. Here are the lyrics:

"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 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"
