Artist/Band: Neil Young
Lyrics for Song: Rent Is Always Due
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Neil Young



Your silver child

suspended in space

Crying out

to you

Beckons you

to yet another fine place

Where the trials of life are few



Don't think you're living long

Who says you are coming on

They won't remember you

The rent is always due



The cloudy men

who take their place

And stand in line

they do

Know not of

the satin face

That separates them from you



Just put your blue jeans on

Grab your guitar and sing a song

Don't think I'm kidding you

The rent is always due



She rides a broom

with gold-plated straw

She flutters around

and she cries

The Brylcream fools

just standing on

Digesting all their lives



But then you walk along

And she starts coming on

Beneath her melting broom

The rent is always due


Rent Is Always Due

Neil Young's "Rent Is Always Due" stands as a defining track from his 1972 album *Harvest*, capturing the raw energy and folk-rock sensibilities that characterized his work during this pivotal era. The song reflects the economic anxieties and social tensions of the early 1970s, delivered with Young's signature vocal intensity and acoustic guitar work. As a staple of his discography, the recording exemplifies his ability to blend personal narrative with broader cultural commentary, influencing countless artists who followed in the folk-rock genre. Its enduring popularity speaks to its universal themes of struggle and resilience, making it a significant piece in the canon of American roots music.
