Yeah, THAT’LL Show ‘Em!

Rock legend Neil Young said that the “free world” ought to fight climate change rather than ISIS.

Of course. Everyone knows terrorists’ kryptonite is stable temperatures.

    Look out, Mama,
    there’s a white boat
    comin’ up the river
    With a big red beacon,
    and a flag,
    and a man on the rail
    I think you’d better call John,
    ‘Cause it don’t
    look like they’re here
    to deliver the mail
    And it’s less than a mile away
    I hope they didn’t come to stay
    It’s got numbers on the side
    and a gun
    And it’s makin’ big waves.

    Daddy’s gone,
    my brother’s out hunting
    in the mountains
    Big John’s been drinking
    since the river took Emmy-Lou
    So the powers that be
    left me here
    to do the thinkin’
    And I just turned twenty-two
    I was wonderin’ what to do
    And the closer they got,
    The more those feelings grew.

    Daddy’s rifle in my hand
    felt reassurin’
    He told me,
    Red means run, son,
    numbers add up to nothin’
    But when the first shot
    hit the docks I saw it comin’
    Raised my rifle to my eye
    Never stopped to wonder why.
    Then I saw black,
    And my face splashed in the sky.

    Shelter me from the powder
    and the finger
    Cover me with the thought
    that pulled the trigger
    Think of me
    as one you’d never figured
    Would fade away so young
    With so much left undone
    Remember me to my love,
    I know I’ll miss her.

  2. “I heard Mr. Young sing about us. Yes, I heard ol’ Neil put us down. Well I hope Neil Young will remember that a Southern Man don’t need him around anyhow.”

    Yes, that’s how long I’ve not cared for that SOB.
