The Needle And The Damage Done Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Sicklenhammer 

Cover art for The Needle And The Damage Done lyrics by Neil Young

"I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone"

Way out there and over analysing just want to put my 2 cents worth in like everybody else has and it's probably been said before but I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!

Anyway back to my point:

"I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone"

Man-kind is always addicted to something Whether it be drugs, alcohol, gambling, women

But when he sings "But every junkie's like a settin' sun." Just like his rendition of Imagine after 9/11... He sang: "Imagine no possessions I wonder if I can." As opposed to Lennon's: "if you can"

I say to Neil's last line instead of "But every junkie's like a settin' sun" I say: And everyone's like a setting sun
