Eve of Destruction

When I got home the other day from being in the Gas fields of Tara Queensland a friend met me at the Vegetable shop and he told me that the Earth was up for an extinction event.  The Ring of Fire was heating up in a way that was unique and bothersome.

Then I was going back over my radio show requests and I note that this song Eve of Destruction was requested back in the middle of June by one of my stalwart listeners.  I missed this.  I think I was meant to play this on the show today instead and that is why I missed it.  

Just before I ran into him I was talking in the car with my friend I was with and her new Grand daughter had just been born the day before and her name is Evie.  Another Eve.   My friend told me about Crop Circles being discussed at Bellingen on Sunday at the Memorial Hall.  I am so very interested in this and I will be promoting this on my show today.

THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION 

 - Singer Barry Maguire -

The eastern world it tis explodin',
violence flarin', bullets loadin',
you're old enough to kill but not for votin',
you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin',
and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
and marches alone can't bring integration,
when human respect is disintegratin',
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when your return, it's the same old place,
the poundin' of the drums, th pride and disgrace,
you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,
and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
