Barry McGuire -- Eve of Destruction

[lastlib]

This song needs updating, but it still strikes a chord, so to speak...

"Ah, you may leave here for four days in space,
But when you return, it's the same old place.
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace,

But you tell me over and over again. my friend,
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction."

Damn, we had good music in the sixties!
