"Scenery" adalah sebuah lagu yang mendalam dan reflektif oleh Neil Young, penyanyi legendaris. Lagu ini menyelidiki dualitas Amerika Serikat sebagai "tanah orang pemberani" dan "tanah kebebasan." Lirik Young melukiskan gambaran yang menyedihkan tentang sebuah negara yang seringkali meninggalkan para pahlawannya, menghancurkan rumah mereka, dan menyebarkan hidup mereka. Namun, di tengah pesimisme ini, ia masih menemukan secercah harapan, menawarkan untuk menemani pendengarnya dalam perjalanan mereka mencari perubahan.
Scenery Lyrics
Neil Young
Looking at the grave
At the scenery around you
Home of the brave
Sometimes they leave you
like they found you
Sometimes they worship you
Sometimes they
tear your houses down
Sometimes they comfort you
Sometimes they
spread your life around
Nothing you can see
That they
won't try to give you
Land of the free
Where the legend
will outlive you
When you earn their trust
When you are truly in danger
Where greed and lust
Have never been a stranger
[solo]
Home of the brave
That's where
heroes need protection
Media image slaves
Live by random selection
You sell your heart
But that's not
the price of freedom
Where things are useful
Only when you need them
Where will you go
When you need
to make some changes
Who will you love
In a world
of constant strangers
I'll go with you
If you want
to take a hero home
I'll stay behind
If you want
to take a hero home
Looking at the grave
At the scenery around you
Home of the brave
Sometimes they leave you
like they found you
[solo]
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
At the scenery around you
Home of the brave
Sometimes they leave you
like they found you
Sometimes they worship you
Sometimes they
tear your houses down
Sometimes they comfort you
Sometimes they
spread your life around
Nothing you can see
That they
won't try to give you
Land of the free
Where the legend
will outlive you
When you earn their trust
When you are truly in danger
Where greed and lust
Have never been a stranger
[solo]
Home of the brave
That's where
heroes need protection
Media image slaves
Live by random selection
You sell your heart
But that's not
the price of freedom
Where things are useful
Only when you need them
Where will you go
When you need
to make some changes
Who will you love
In a world
of constant strangers
I'll go with you
If you want
to take a hero home
I'll stay behind
If you want
to take a hero home
Looking at the grave
At the scenery around you
Home of the brave
Sometimes they leave you
like they found you
[solo]
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
