Let's Impeach The President -- Neil Young


Let's impeach the President for lying  And misleading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him And shipping all our money out the door
Who's the man who hired all the criminals  The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors  They 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 lots of people looking at big trouble  But of course our president is clean.
Thank God                                                                                                 (sing365)  

This song deals with US president George W. Bush, and Young's desire to remove him from office. Young said this is "A political song about something that's so wrong that the only way to point out how wrong it is is by doing a song that's wrong - smashing and pounding away at it. A lot of people criticized it as a crappy song, that it was such a terrible melody. You want a melody that pisses people off, that's so stupid and repetitive that it aggravates people."

George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) is an American politician who served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 .
Bush was born in New Haven, Connecticut. He is the eldest son of Barbara Bush and 41st President George H. W. Bush, making him the second American president to have been the son of a former president. Bush was elected President in 2000 as the Republican candidate, defeating Vice President Al Gore in the Electoral College.
Early on, the Bush administration withdrew from a number of international treaty processes, notably the Kyoto Protocol on global warming. A series of terrorist attacks occurred eight months into Bush's first term as president on September 11, 2001. In response, Bush announced theWar on Terror, an international military campaign which included the war in Afghanistan launched in 2001 and the war in Iraq launched in 2003. In addition to national security issues, Bush promoted policies on the economy, health care, education, and social security reform.  Bush successfully ran for re-election against Democratic Senator John Kerry in 2004, in another relatively close election. After his re-election, Bush received increasingly heated criticism from across the political spectrum. In 2005, the Bush Administration dealt with widespread criticism over its handling of Hurricane Katrina. Following this and other controversies, as well as the growing unpopularity of the Iraq War, Democrats won control of Congress in the 2006 elections. In December 2007, the United States entered its longest post–World War IIrecession, prompting the Bush Administration to enact multiple economic programs intended to preserve the country's financial system.  his popularity declined sharply during his second. He was a highly controversial figure internationally, with public protests occurring even during visits to close allies, such as the United Kingdom.
