| Neil Young – Southern Man Lyrics

Yes, in the south we still fly our confederate flags proudly. However, to call these flags hate flags is a very uniformed and irrational statement. The Confederate flags stands for people who did exactly what the Declaration of Idependence told them too. If you think the War of Nothern Aggression was a crusuade to free black people then you are woefully ingnorant. The War of Nothern Aggression was fought over cotton prices. Nothing more or nothing less. The nothern states made a plan to add more states so they could get the tariffs on cotton remove. There was no plan to end slavery from the north. They wanted slavery so that the south could supply as much cotton to feed the need of the textile factories. Also, nobody ever mentions the fact that southern slave owners and politicians were making a plan end slavery over the next 10 to 20 years. The advances in technology were making more expensive to own slaves than to just leave them and get the equipment that was being invented. After the War of The Nothern Aggression, the North, during the reconstruction era, set the south back 50 years. They placed black men in politcal positions who didn't deserve to be there. They made white people's life as miserable as possible. Over time the south grew to have a hatred of black people and yankees. However, if you grew up in the south, you probably have black friends. A professor from a nothern school once told me that difference in the south and the north as far as racism goes is that in the south people look down on black people as a whole, but you'll see them with black friends and interacting with black people. Were in the north, people may say that black people are equals, but they have no social interaction with them. I do not like this song because this just Neil Young picking at the south again. How come he never wrote a song describing the hatred between the Irish and blacks in Chicago? How come he never writes a song talking about the Italians and blacks gang wars in the 1970s? Neil Young is from Canada. He doesn't understand what it is like to grow up in America, much less the deep south. He wasn't raised around people of different color, he has no idea the trouble it can cause. Neil Young is a very overrated artist, he takes the worst of a situation and uses that to make his music and controversy. In one interview he refered to America as "we". There is no we about it. He is from Canada and what good has ever come from Canada? Hockey maybe? A black historian made the statement that when America falls, people will be able to trace its roots all the way back to the civil war, when the real America lost. A BLACK historian said that. |

I would just like to say that Neil Young is a yellowed cock sucking whore bag motherfucker who deserves to burn in the deepest bowels of hell right next to satan and hitler. With that being said, Skynyrd is a great Southern rock band and because I like that kind of music, I, in turn, like them. Would they have been the greatest band ever had it not been for the plane crash...no, but they would have still been a great band. Are they better than Zeppelin? No. But people in every other part of life tend to judge greatness buy how long you stayed on the top, and if that is the case in music then the greates band of all time is The Rolling Stones whether you like them or not. |

I can't help, but I think this song is kinda religous not that it is a bad thing for this is a very good song and there is nothing wrong with singing about what you believe in. But I think this is his god he is talking to in this song |

The meaning of this song just seems so simple to me...in the first verse he is talking to the world about what he wants which is peace and love for all...in the second verse it seems like he is talking to G-d telling him what he wishes he could have peace throughout the world and all people believe. He is asking God to do because he believes that only G-d saves us from the problems in this world(which is true) hence the line "And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give." Then by singing this song he is spreading his message of peace and how G-d can save us all from this. |
