Neil Young, DRAM - Campfire lyrics

Never let 'em tell you no

Stand by the beach
And let's get warm by the fire
I had started this camp
Because I had the desire to spread good vibes
And it changed lives for the better, better
Know that I've been chasing at the same time
Sand in my toes and my hands in the sky
I gaze upon the stars and I simply reply
That with the same thing
That's what we think
But you don't gotta look nowhere near
As far to reach me off of the shore and into
The waves of the water
I spotted souls that were drowning
But didn't want to be bothered
It's just like watching a man
That's about to jump to his death
You gotta stop him from taking that last step
I spotted them by the buoy
Not knowing what they were doing
I jumped right in swam to them
And put them onto the movie
Back at the beach
We warmed them up with the fire
And drown their sorrow with love
And waves of thoughts inspired

Stand up turn up your sound
Never let them tell you no
Never let them tell you no

I met a man at the end of his road
His pockets were broke
He was addicted to dope when asked his worth
He couldn't give me a quote
Not 'cause he thought he was priceless
Just that his price was too low
I said, "My brother, from another mother
You gotta free yourself from this chair
And lift yourself from whatever you're under
'Cause you know you got a story to tell

Stand up turn up your sound
Never let them tell you no
Times when profound no one's around
Never let them tell you no
Never let them tell you no

I met a woman at the end of her wit's
She had taken some scars
And she was swinging, she missed
She tried working so far
That she was ready to quit
And when I asked her worth
Her reply made me sick i said, "My sister
I'm tryin' to get with ya fuck a job
I'll fill you as well
Just change your focus still keep working
You just gotta be a boss by yourself

Stand up turn up your sound
Never let them tell you no
Times when profound no one's around
Never let them tell you no
Never let them tell you no
