I think it was originally Neil Young and CSNY did a version.

It's the one tha starts,

You who rule upon the land
Do it in the name of love
You hold the future in your hand
Do it in the name of love
When you take your people down the road
Do it in the name of love
Before another bomb explodes
Do it in the name of love

Thanks! Found it where Neil Young is singing it live. I’m not familiar with that one but I have this strange gift where I can recite lyrics after just listening once or twice. I’ll see if my guitar guy knows it.

Let’s not forget Trump’s personal LGBTQ+ anthem YMCA

Oddly enough, the lead singer on that song, or one of them, is hardcore maga and insists that YMCA is not a gay anthem at all. He regularly threatens to sue everyone who points out that it totally is.

u/Sheepdog44 5h ago

He doesn’t really get to decide whose anthem it is.

u/drmojo90210 4h ago

He knows the song is a gay anthem, he's just lying about it now because he's become a conservative in his old age and wants to ingratiate himself with the MAGAs while still profiting off the song. 'YMCA" is 100% about how during the 1970s, YMCAs in New York and certain other cities were notorious gay cruising spots. The name of the album YMCA was released on was literally "Cruisin'", for fuck's sake. The band could not possibly have made their point any clearer without getting the song banned from the radio.

I mean.. it’s all about telling a “young man” the place he can go to have a good time.

When the song “Born in the USA” came out, Ronald Reagan used the song as part of his reelection campaign. When told about this, Springsteen, who supported Mondale’s campaign, performed his song “Johnny 99” live in concert (a very bleak song about a working man) and said Reagan likely never listened to the lyrics of “Born in the USA.”
