Neil Young, Promise of the Real все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

It's a new day for the planet
It's a new day for the sun
To shine down on what we're doin'
It's a new day for love
It's a bad day to do nothin'
With so many people needin' our help
To keep their lands away from the greedy
Who only plunder for themselves

Lately I been thinking
'Bout the changing world
Trying to fit in pieces of dreams
Just trying to add it up
Figure out what it means
When a lost planet comes tumbling home
Does it have to have a beard?
To break free from what is here

I'm Canadian by the way
And I love the USA (my American friend)
I love this way of life
The freedom to act and the freedom to say
Already great
You're already great
You're the promised land
You're the helping hand

Wonderco got in money trouble, had to break the law
Had to balance the fine against the benefit to all
Made a business decision to pay the fine and break the law
Too big to fail, too rich for jail

He can live without so why don't we
After all they're just like you and me
They cast their votes and no one gets excited

Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the land and save the seas
For the children of destiny
The children of you and me

Should goodness ever lose and evil steal the day
Should happy sing the blues and peaceful fade away

I'm diggin' a hole (I'm diggin' a hole)
I'm diggin' a hole (I'm diggin' a hole)
I'm diggin' a hole (I'm diggin' a hole)
Right now
Oh (Oh)
Woah (Woah)
My grandchildren (My grandchildren)
My grandchildren (My grandchildren)

Earth is like a church without a preacher
The people have to pray for themselves
Animals and birds cannot help them
Trees and plants have nothing new to say
Planets are just bumbles, floating carelessly
Streets lined up with boxes, so it seems
Lined up there forever by their buildings
Standing in the way of children's dreams

I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost on the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind
I come down from the crooked mansion
I went lookin' for the D.J.'s daughter

If I don't know what I'm doin'
And all my big ideas fail
Like build a dam against the water so the river dies
Veins, the earth's blood
And if I don't know what I'm sayin'
And all the world's dreams come true
Like finding oil and shooting poison in the ground
Veins, earth's blood

You never know what the future holds in the shallow soil of Monsanto, Monsanto
The moon is full and the seeds are sown while the farmer toils for Monsanto, Monsanto
When these seeds rise they're ready for the pesticide
And Roundup comes and brings the poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto
The farmer knows he's got to grow what he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto
So he signs a deal for GMOs that makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto
Every year he buys the patented seeds
Poison-ready they're what the corporation needs, Monsanto

Up in the rainbow teepee sky
No one's looking down on you or I
That's just a mirror in your eye
Ain't taken my last hit yet
I know that things are different now
(I see the same old signs, but something new is growing)
Don't think I'll cash it in yet
Don't think I'll put down my last bet

Aurora Borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man to the fields of green
And the homeland we've never seen
They killed us in our teepees
And cut our women down

No-one owns the sacred seed
No man's law can change that
Seeds have floated, birds have flown
Seeds have traveled far from home
Seeds have floated, birds have flown
Seeds have traveled far, far from home
Seeds are life, it can't be owned
Not even by Monsanto

Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Do you see people's lives being lost on the sacred land?
In the battle over water being fought for the baby's hand
Show me
Show me

Wolf moon thank you for risin'
Big sky I'm grateful for your parting clouds
I know some hearts were broken
Big crows still flying in your sky
Herds of elk roam upon your meadows
And your eagle soars across my eyes
While you withstand the thoughtless plundering

A working man in Indiana travelled from farm to farm
Plantin' seeds and talkin' weather, working 90 farms
Got to know the farmers knew all of their kids
Out in the country, that was '96
His life was good and steady when seeds were cash
Next year the farmers were ready, the times were changing fast
Supreme Court in session made a new law
GMO seeds and patents had a fatal flaw
