The Canadian-American icon also shared the lyrics and a soundcheck audio clip on his Neil Young Archives site under the post \u201cBIG CRIME AT CHICAGO SOUNDCHECK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the track, Young delivers a fiery indictment of fascist tendencies and billionaire influence in U.S. politics, singing lines such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cDon\u2019t need no fascist rules, \/ Don\u2019t want no fascist school, \/ Don\u2019t want soldiers on our streets, \/ There\u2019s big crime in DC at the White House.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song crescendos with an unmistakable jab at Trump\u2019s campaign slogan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cNO MORE GREAT AGAIN, No NO MORE GREAT AGAIN, \/ There\u2019s big crime in DC at THE White House\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/?p=17500\/#A_Long-Running_Feud\" >A Long-Running Feud<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/?p=17500\/#Continuing_His_Protest_Tradition\" >Continuing His Protest Tradition<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"a-long-running-feud\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Long-Running_Feud\"><\/span>A Long-Running Feud<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Neil Young debuts Big Crime in Chicago\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jlt9G6WSJik?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Young has repeatedly clashed with Trump over the years.

He has also used his music to criticize tech billionaire Elon Musk, underscoring his willingness to confront powerful figures head-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With \u201cBig Crime,\u201d Neil Young reaffirms his role as one of rock\u2019s most outspoken voices, unafraid to fuse activism with music at a time of heightened political division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rock legend Neil Young has taken aim at Donald Trump once again, debuting a scathing new track titled&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":17502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17500","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-musician"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
