"Campaigner" ( Neil Young )
I am a lonely visitor
I came to late to cause a stir
Though I campaigned all my life
Towards that goal.
I hardly slept the night you wept
Our secret's safe and still well kept
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got soul.
The podium rocks in the crowded waves
The speaker talks of the beautiful saves
That went down long before
He played this role
For the hotel queens and themagazines
Test tube genes and slot machines
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got it,
Soul
Hospitals have made him cry
But there's always a free way in his eye
Though his beach just got
Too crowded for his stroll
Roads stretch out like healthy veins
And wild gift horses strain the reins
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got soul
I am a lonely visitor
I came to late to cause a stir
Though I campaigned all my life
Towards that goal.
Uma das canções mais "secretas" de Neil Young, "Campaigner" foi escrita em 1976 no decorrer do "Stills Young Band Tour".
Foi publicada originalmente na compilação "Decade" ( 1977 ) e, ao contrário do que possa parecer está longe de constituir um anacronismo.
