I'm Canadian by the way
And I love the USA
I love this way of life
The freedom to act
And the freedom to say
Already great
You're already great
You're the promised land
You're the helping hand
Woke up this morning
Thinking about you and your new deal
Tried to put myself in your shoes
Tried to feel how you feel
Already great
You're already great
You're the promised land
You're the helping hand
No wall
No ban
No fascist USA
No wall
No ban
No fascist USA
No wall
No ban…
Not my words
That’s just you the other day out on that street
(My American friend)
You’re looking at one of the lucky ones
Came here from there to be free
Got to chase the life with Freedom land
Got to play my part in God’s plan
(My American friend)
Already great
You're already great
You're the promised land
You're the helping hand
No wall
No ban
No fascist USA
No wall
No ban
No fascist USA
No wall
No ban
No fascist USA
No wall
No ban
No fascist USA
Whose streets?
Our streets
And I love the USA
I love this way of life
The freedom to act
And the freedom to say
Already great
You're already great
You're the promised land
You're the helping hand
Woke up this morning
Thinking about you and your new deal
Tried to put myself in your shoes
Tried to feel how you feel
Already great
You're already great
You're the promised land
You're the helping hand
No wall

dall'album The Visitor in cui il vecchio Neil, mandati a casa per il momento i Crazy Horse, suona con i Promise of the Real, gruppo rock californiano di Lukas Nelson, il figlio del cantante country Willie Nelson.
"Make America Great Again" è stato lo slogan elettorale di Donald Trump. Already Great è la risposta a Trump e alle sue politiche razziste e fasciste.
Intorno ai vent'anni Neil Young ha lasciato il Canada per stabilirsi in California e, pur rimanendo legato al suo paese di origine, si può dire che è sempre stato un protagonista della musica e della politica statunitense, difendendo da sempre i veri valori fondanti della democrazia americana, troppo spesso dimenticati o traditi: la libertà di parola, la libertà di agire.
