"It's Time to Leave the Whitehouse" is the chorus to a new Neil Young song called "Big Crime"



"Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts played Chicago’s Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island on Wednesday evening, and near the end of the main set, they debuted a brand new song entitled “Big Crime” that absolutely scorches Donald Trump and his federal takeover of Washington, DC.

"“Don’t need no fascist rules,” Young sings. “Don’t want no fascist school/Don’t want soldiers on our streets/There’s big crime in DC at the White House…No more money to the fascists/the billionaire fascists/Time to blackout the system.”


Complete video of the public performance has yet to hit YouTube, but Young posted audio of the soundcheck rendition along with the lyrics on the Neil Young Archives. Head here to check it out in full, and look above for a partial clip of the live performance.

“Big Crime” is the only tune in the set that makes specific reference to Trump and his policies, but there are numerous protest songs – including “Be The Rain,” “Southern Man,” “Ohio,” and “Sun Green” – that show exactly where Young’s head is at right now.
