"Rockin' in the Free World" is an anthem by Neil Young, released on his 1989 album Freedom. Two versions of the song were released, similar to the song "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" of Young's Rust Never Sleeps album, one of which is performed with a predominantly acoustic arrangement, and the other with a predominantly electric arrangement.
According to Neil Young's biography Shakey, while on tour in the late '80s, Young and Frank "Poncho" Sampedro looked at photos in a newspaper of the Ayatollah Khomeini's body being carried to his grave. These images showed mourners burning American flags in the street, which incited fear in Poncho. Sampedro commented, "Whatever we do, we shouldn't go near the Mideast. It's probably better we just keep on rockin' in the free world." Young asked if Sampedro was using that for the basis of a song and when Sampedro said no, Young said that he would instead.
The lyrics criticize George H.W. Bush and make specific references to the administration of George H. W. Bush and the social problems of late Twentieth Century America.
An edited version of the song accompanies the end credits of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11; the phrase "That's one more kid that’ll never go to school / Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool," which originally referenced the second verse's abandoned child now appears to reference a dead U.S. soldier in Iraq. The chorus is played through the end credits as a call to action to oppose President George W. Bush and his policies.
This song is rated number 214 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time
