"Bringin' Down Dinner" adalah lagu yang diciptakan oleh musisi legendaris Neil Young. Melalui lirik yang memikat, lagu ini menceritakan kisah seorang nenek tua yang membawa makan malam untuk kakeknya di tengah kerumunan van TV yang mengepung rumahnya. Saat dia membawa makanan yang sarat vitamin dan kasih sayang itu, dia menemukan kakeknya di setiap layar, diwawancarai oleh seorang wanita cantik. Dengan latar belakang kabut malam yang menyelimuti, lagu ini menyoroti kesenjangan yang mencolok antara kehidupan sederhana sang nenek dan sorotan media yang tiba-tiba menimpa kakeknya.
Bringin' Down Dinner Lyrics
Neil Young
The evening fog was rolling in
It was getting hard to see
The old white car edged down the road
Headed for the double e
She was bringin' down dinner for grandpa
It was crawlin' with vitamins
And tender as a mother's love
When she saw the tv vans
The side door was open
There were three tvs
Grandpa's face was on every one
He was talkin' to a woman with a microphone
She was sexy and her hair was all done
Sun green came out and met grandma then
"my, you're such a beautiful girl
Mother earth needs more like you
You should go out now and see the world
What's grandpa doin' on tv?
I got his dinner in the car
All these vans have blocked our road
But we can carry it, it's not too far"
It was getting hard to see
The old white car edged down the road
Headed for the double e
She was bringin' down dinner for grandpa
It was crawlin' with vitamins
And tender as a mother's love
When she saw the tv vans
The side door was open
There were three tvs
Grandpa's face was on every one
He was talkin' to a woman with a microphone
She was sexy and her hair was all done
Sun green came out and met grandma then
"my, you're such a beautiful girl
Mother earth needs more like you
You should go out now and see the world
What's grandpa doin' on tv?
I got his dinner in the car
All these vans have blocked our road
But we can carry it, it's not too far"
