Neil Young says Freedom is a Bad Idea
2001-12-18 12:44:24
Neil Young shocked a left-wing group called People for the American Way when he stated "... to protect freedom it seems that we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time."
My my, hey hey
the fascist state I do obey
It's better to suck up,
than to
save the day
My my, hey hey.
Out of the red and into the black
The state gave me this,
and they gave me
that
And once you've got,
you can never give back
When you're out of the
red and into the black.
Your freedom's gone but it's not forgotten
This is the story of a Johnny
Rotten
It's better to turncoat,
than it is to go bust
Your freedom's gone but
it's not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my
Youthful ideals can always die
There's more to the picture,
than
meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
