  • Let's impeach the president for lyin'
    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
    And bend the facts to fit with their new story
    Of why we have to send out men to war

    Let's impeach the president for spyin'
    On citizens inside their own homes
    Breaking every law in the country
    By tapping our computers and telephones

    What is Al Queda 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?

    Flip...
    Flop...
    Flip...
    Flop...
    Flip...

    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 crackin' down on steroids
    Since he sold his old baseball team
    There's lots of people lookin' at big trouble
    But of course the president is clean

    Thank God
    Thank God
    Thank God
    Thank God... Writer/s: NEIL YOUNG

  • Dustin from Myrtle Beach, ScGreat song, and I could not agree more with neil. George Bush is the biggest piece of trash that has ever walked the earth and i would not be upset at all if he was to turn up dead somewhere. and for the obama bashers, this is all i have to say...

    Bush destroyed our country in the 8 years he was in office. give Obama at least 2 to clean up the mess Bush made.
  • Mike from Matawan, NjThis is hysterical. The comments I mean. You'll never hear the words 'great president' and 'George W. Bush' be uttered by me in the same sentence, however....if you think the guy that's in the White House now is any better, you guys are in for a rude awakening. He as spent 4 TRILLION dollars in 8 1/2 months. FOUR TRILLION. Our grand children's, grandchildren are going to be paying this debt off. Well done.

    Oh yeah....this song kinda sucks anyway, so....there's that.
  • Frank from Granchester Meadows, GreenlandToo bad it didn't happen. it's what he deserved anyway. oh well, he'll have to answer for his ignorance on judgement day!
  • Steve from Fenton, MoNeil claims this song is about impeaching President Bush, but I think it's really about drugs.
  • J.r. from Elkhart, InI don't like Neil Young but I am not thrilled with Bush either. Darrell,Eugene: You can wish all you want but it just isn't going to happen buddy.
  • Matthew from Milford, MaWhy do people in Albania like Bush?
  • Andrew from New Bethlehen, PaWhat he said
  • Darrell from EugeneMy opinion on Bush is even more extreme than Neil's. I want to see him be permanently banished to either Iran, Iraq or Afghanistan. He would be an honored guest. On the other hand, he could move to Albania, which is probably the only place on earth where everyone likes him and where he can get his watch back.
