Come Along and Say You Will
Neil Young & Stray Gators Lyrics

Come along and say you will,
Join me and commit to helping change the status quo.

Be the one to change the meaning
Step forward and be the catalyst for change.

Of the writing on the wall
Of the inevitable outcome if we don't take steps to improve things.

The lonely politician
Those in power who are out of touch and ineffective.

is lying in the hall.
They've failed to make a difference, and as a result, have fallen from grace.

Come along and say you can,
Join me to help make a change - and believe that it's possible to do so.

Be the one to take this feeling,
Be the one to help move this desire for change from mere sentiment to actual action.

I'll never understand,
The sense of disillusionment we're feeling now, and what led us here.

Why walk around the center
Why perpetuate this pointless routine, going nowhere and accomplishing nothing.

With a nail through your hand?
With self-inflicted pain, suffering without making any progress, let alone achieving real change.

It's another way to run,
The status quo leads nowhere, and it's just another way to tread water.

It's a lonely weekend
The sense of futility this weekend represents.

And what have you done?
Without action, we won't be able to make any real progress or change.

You know you got a reason to run, babe
We all have reasons to be scared, exposed, or vulnerable in the face of change.

You know you got a reason to hide, babe
But we can't let our fears prevent us from taking action and making progress.
