Loved the guy. Smoked a lot of weed back in day. Things change.

[Intro]
Neil Young, take a look at my life,
I’m a lot like you were.
Neil Young, take a look at my life,
I’m a lot like you were.

[Verse 1]
Neil young, look at my life,
Seventy-five and still alive.
Getting old in a paradise,
That makes me think of you.

Love lost, such a cost,
You want things that don’t get lost.
Like a man that must get tossed,
It’s just your speech that’s true.

[Chorus]
Neil Young take a look at my life,
I’m a lot like you.
I need someone to love me the whole day through.
I’ll be a cantankerous bastard just like you.

[verse 2]

Prostate and cataracts,
Still doing the same old act.
Only what you say is fact,
None know more than you.

You got rich and life’s been good,
Your life was lived in Hollywood,
That’s why you wear the liberal hood,
Joe Rogan is a Jew.

[Chorus]
Neil Young take a look at my life,
I’m a lot like you.
Only your speech is free, and you know it’s true.
I’ll take my bat, my ball and go home unless Joe is through.

[Outro]
Time moves with shifting sand,
Now you’re in curmudgeon land.
Make us look bad while you can,
It’s all come back to you.


 
Is this just about Neal Young or can we post other songs about sons,parents?

Love this one and "Long May You Run" and "Heart of Gold" and play and perform them regularly.

oopsie ... i didn't see the 'satire' part - so the likey likey i gave has been retracted.

i'll leave the 1st song up - 'cause well - it rocks.

& i'll depart yer little stick poking OP, with this from back in the day, when words mattered -

 
The man hasn't worked a day in his life...he has had it easy...he has no idea of what it takes to work your fingers to the bone doing something you hate and to see a chunk of your dollars each week taken to give to lazy assholes who won't work....so his words fall on death ears....take a shower Neil and mind your own business...if you want to keep us from your music knock yourself out you haven't had a hit in 25 years....
 
I think Neil Young and Joni Mitchel should start their own nursing home folk/rock band. They could call themselves "The Rolling Bones".
