Song Illustration--"No Gain"
www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/lwwsongspage.html
"No Gain" protests the lies and corruption of the Bush administration. This is my most sincere, most heartfelt song (and I must say that I finally have some satisfaction now that the Bush regime is out of action.) It's a tribute to Neil Young and Crazy Horse, and features me cutting loose with a rare guitar break on my Strat. It can also be found on the “Living With War Today” website. I'm grateful to Neil for setting up this site of protest songs and I'm honoured to be included on it with so many other artists. I want to thank everyone for their generous support.

Here are the lyrics:
There’s a black spot over Washington
And a stench that rises up in the hot, hot sun
The river’s rising and it’s hard to swim
Against the tide of wealth with sight so dim
But there’s one voice in the crowd
Who cries his mind and yells so loud
It’s a no gain
Take the peace train
[chorus:]
We won’t get no satisfaction
‘Til the Bush regime is out of action
It’s a no brain
Take the peace train
Some people got on the wrong track
Voted him in power twice, now they can’t turn back
The opposition is standing clear and strong
And now all his rights have turned into wrongs
We won’t get no satisfaction
‘Til the Bush regime is out of action
He’s a weasel fox
Who hides the clocks
I hope he’ll pay for the lives he’s taken
In a jail cell one day he’ll awaken
It’s a no brain
Ride the peace train
[Repeat chorus three times]
