  1. EVE OF DESTRUCTION By Barry McGuire 1965 The Eastern world, it is explodin',Violence flarin', bullets loadin'.You're old enough to kill, but not for votin',You don't believe in war -- but what's that gun you're totin'?An' 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 tryin' to say,An' can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' 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.An' 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,An' marches alone can't bring integrationWhen human respect is disintegratin',This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'.An' 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 you return it's the same ol' place,The poundin' of the drums, the pride an' disgrace.You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace.Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace,An' tell me, over and over and over again, my friend,You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction,No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

FOR WHAT ITS WORTH1967 By Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield ) There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away We better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
