A Neil Young Classic Updated

KEEP ON ROCKIN’ IN THE FREE WORLD (2019 VERSION)

The first stanza is unchanged. It was perfect as it was.

_______________

There’s colors on the street

Red, white, and blue.

People shufflin’ their feet.

People sleepin’ in their shoes.

But there’s a warning sign on the road ahead.

There’s a lot of people sayin’ we’d be better off dead.

Don’t feel like Satan, but I am to them.

So I try to forget it any way I can.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

________________

I see a woman in the night

With a baby inside.

She stands far from the light

But there’s no place to hide.

She needs to terminate it

But abortion’s now a crime

She thinks of it and wonders

Another place, another time.

She really needs a doctor

Or she’ll have to use a wire.

Any way you look at it

Her circumstance is dire.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

_____________

We’ve got a big, bad concrete wall

For the immigrant man.

We’ve got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand.

We’ve got budget cuts; skyscrapers, too.

Climate change is comin’ and the polar bears are through.

Got a president on Twitter.

Every word is a sensation.

Lots of Democrats are lining up

To try and save the nation.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

Parody of “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” by Neil Young.
