It's more likely to do what nearly every one of his albums since Rust Never Sleeps (1978) has done -- yawn.
He probably wrote this to get a gig on the Chris Matthews Hardball show.
Dang, thats good. He's writing about the nineties, right?

NEIL YOUNG LYRICS
"Let's Roll"
I know I said I love you,
I know you know it's true,
I've got to put the phone down,
and do what we got to do.
One's standing in the iselway,
Two more at the door,
We've got to get inside there,
Before they kill somemore.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
No time for indecision,
We've got to make a move,
I hope that were foregiven,
For what we got to
How this all got started,
I'll never understand,
I hope someone can fly this thing,
And get us back to land.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
No one has the answer,
But one thing is true,
You've got to turn on evil,
When it's coming after you,
You've gota face it down,
And when it tries to hide,
You've gota go in after it,
And never be denied,
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Let's roll for freedome,
Let's roll for love,
We're going after satan,
On the wings of a dove,
Let's roll for justice,
Let's roll for truth,
Let's not let our children,
Grow up fearfull in there youth.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
What's this Canadian mean by "our country"?

I thought Neil Young was Canadian?
The most overrated musician ever. Our cover band plays his song "Down By the River" and our version is a LOT better.
His best work was with Crosby, Stills and Nash.
It looks like Neil just copy and pasted a thread from DU, and made them his lyrics.
The sad thing is mis-informed people will take his new song as gospel.
This is too bad. I spent most of my teenage years drunk and listening to/playing Neil Young songs. Even Greendale is fantastic despite its leftist agenda. this however is absurd.
That, and hanging out in downtown Santa Cruz with some really sleazy old hippie chicks...
His brain's like a hurricane,
he wants to think but it's getting blown away
Oh brother!
Neil sucks. He used to rock until his communist politics overshadowed his music. I still have a Crazy Horse tape. Maybe I should burn it on May Day.
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do Should he hang on to the old Should he grab on to the new He's an old hippie...his new life is just a bust He ain't trying to change nobody He's just trying real hard to adjust
I used to like Neil. I have even defended him here on FR.
Now, I just think he's a tool.
"Southern man don't need him around, anyway".
this Canadian sees too many "whippen posts" when he is "riding his Horse (H) with no name!
