Velho, mas atualíssimo!

Barry McGuire:   "Eve of Destruction"

The eastern world, it is exploding
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'
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 tryin' to say
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 ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy]

And 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 sitting 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
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

And... tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Ah, no no, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction.

COMENTO: esta é uma bela canção que embalou os pacifistas da década de 60 (do século passado). Seu conteúdo continua atualíssimo. O mundo em crise; o povo "na merda"; os políticos fazendo pose, pedindo votos e se locupletando com a desgraça dos otários; os falsos ídolos da canalha comuno-fascista aproveitando para apresentar-se como a salvação do mundo, comprando a consciência e a dignidade dos miseráveis com as migalhas do que desviam para si enquanto vilipendiam a tão falada quanto desconhecida "democracia". E os militares, sempre desprezados, sendo chamados para "resolver os problemas" quando a situação foge ao controle dos patifes de sempre.
