A rock legend has released a bold protest song, taking aim at Donald Trump and Elon Musk in powerful lyrics.
Rock legend Neil Young has made headlines again by releasing a new protest song that targets President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Known for his political activism through music since the 1960s, Young continues to express his concerns about the current state of American politics.
Rock legend slams Trump and Musk in bold lyrics of latest protest track
At a benefit concert in Los Angeles, Young introduced his latest song titled “Let’s Roll Again.”
In this track, he criticizes Musk and his influence at Tesla while urging American automakers to step up their game.
Young calls out Ford, GM, and Chrysler, asking them to return to responsible manufacturing practices.
“Come on Ford, come on GM. Come on Chrysler, let’s roll again.”
He highlights how China is taking the lead in green vehicle production, pushing for American companies to compete.
The song reflects Young’s longstanding commitment to environmental issues and responsible business practices.
Lyrics that challenge political figures
In his song, Young uses sharp lyrics to make his point. After a harmonica break, he sings, “If you’re a fascist, get a Tesla, If you’re a democrat, taste your freedom.”
These lines suggest a division in American society and critique how different political groups approach issues.
Young’s bold statements in the song are likely to resonate with many listeners who share his concerns about the current political climate.
His music continues to be a platform for addressing important social and political issues.
Young’s history of political activism
Neil Young has a long history of using his music to protest political figures and policies.
He has previously described Trump as “a disgrace to my country.” Young is also known for standing up against corporate influence in politics.
His activism has included performances at rallies for politicians like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, where he fights against what he calls the “oligarchy.”
Recently, Young was seen holding a sign that said “Hands off Canada” during a protest in California.
This reflects his dual citizenship and concern for both American and Canadian issues.
Concerns about freedom of speech
Young has expressed worries about speaking out against Trump, claiming that he might face consequences upon returning to the U.S. from tours in Europe.
He has stated that critical remarks about the Trump administration could lead to being barred from re-entering the country.
On his website, he wrote about the fear of being detained for expressing his opinions.
This sentiment highlights the broader concerns about freedom of speech that many artists and activists feel in the current political environment.
“When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminium blanket.
“That’s right folks, if you say anything bad about Trump or his administration, you may be barred from re-entering USA.”
The impact of Young’s music
Young’s music has always been a vehicle for social commentary. His previous songs, such as “Rockin’ in the Free World,” have become anthems for various movements.
However, his relationship with Trump has been particularly contentious.
Young has even attempted to sue Trump for using his music during campaign events without permission.
The release of “Let’s Roll Again” adds to Young’s legacy as an artist unafraid to speak his mind.
With current political tensions, his music serves not just as entertainment but as a call to action for those who share his views.
