Lyrics
the Eastern world it is exploding
dont you understand what im trying to say
think of all the hate there is in red china
violence flaring and bullets loading
and cant you feel the fears that im feeling today
then take a look around to selma alabama
youre old enough to kill but not for voting
if the button is pushed theres no running away
you may leave here for four days in space
you dont believe in war but whats that gun youre toting
theyll be know one to save with tha world in a grave
but when you return its the same old place
even the jordan river has bodies floating
take a look around you boy its bound to scare you boy
the pounding of the drums the pride and disgrace
you can bury your dead but dont leave a trace
hate your next door neighbor but dont forget to say grace
chorus
but ya tell me over and over and over again my friend
ah you dont believe were on the eve of destruction
yer my bloods so mad feels like coagulating
im sitting here just contemplating
i cant twist the truth it knows no regulation
hand full of sedatives dont pass legislation
and marches alone cant bring integration
when human respect is disintegrating
this whole crazy world is just to frustrating

Eve of Destruction lyrics © Warner Chappell Music, Inc, Universal Music Publishing Group, Downtown Music Publishing

It would mean the failure of humanity and probable destruction of much of the life on Earth.

Devastatingly sad.

Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings:"

..or Transatlantic Siberian Orchestra as loud as my earbuds can take it...


Actually my hubby and I were caught in the Mt St Helens ash fall in 1981. We were on the freeway trying to go to his sisters house when all of a sudden it was pitch black not even head lights helped. We finally crawled to her house and filled the bath tub with water, lit a joint and put the speakers in the window and played Pink Floyd (Can Anybody Hear Me?) full blast until the ash lifted..or settled...

...if God listened to this as the Apocalypse began, maybe he'd give us another chance...

This one has a good (ugly) video of war training, but you have to follow the link:

Here's one that doesn't require you to follow a link:

or "War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing."

or anything from the anti-war movement of the 60's/70's.

In fact, the whole symphony if there is time.
