“There’s big crime in DC at the White House,” Young sings in the chorus, as a comment on Trump’s previous legal difficulties, as well as a sarcastic reference to Trump’s current crackdown on crime in Washington DC.
“Don’t need no fascist rules / don’t want no fascist schools / don’t want soldiers walking on the streets,” Young sings. “Got to get the fascists out / got to clean the White House out … no more money to the fascists, the billionaire fascists”.
Riffing on Trump’s “make America great again” slogan, Young adds: “No more great again.”
Young, who became a dual US-Canadian citizen in 2020 and called Trump “a disgrace to my country” that year, expressed worry earlier in 2025 that his criticism of Trump would mean he would not be allowed back into the US. “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,” he wrote on his website.
His music is so great. Was listening to his hits this last week. He has this cool site where you can compare good and bad audio file quality with his recordings https://neilyoungarchives.com/
and that site is bullshit. The first thing a good speaker does is filter out all the extra inaudible shit in the ultra high samplerate. A shitty speaker turns all that extra shit into extra distortion.
