Neil Young

"Campaigner"

I am a lonely visitor
I came too 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

the podium rocks in the crowded waves
the speaker stalks of the beautiful saves
that went down long before he played this role--
for the hotel queens and the magazines
test tube genes and slot machines
where even Richard Nixon has got soul

hospitals have made him cry
but there's always a freeway in his eyes
though the beach just got too crowded for a stroll--
roads stretch out like healthy veins
and wild gift horses strain the reins
where even Richard Nixon has got soul

I am a lonely visitor
I came too late to cause a stir
though I campaigned all my life towards that goal...
