Barry McGuire - Eve 2012 (Eve of Destruction) download song

Me listening self isolating in the UK...take care everybody we will all get through this ...maybe we will understand how far the human race has fallen and do something about it...but I won’t hold my breath

5/31/20 - 56 years after this song came out. Riots throughout the United States and the world.. George Floyd killed by a policeman. Pandemic into it's 4th month. Space X just hooked up with the ISS. This song hits on everything that's going on right now.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana

This song says a lot about the way the world is today!

Hard to believe more than 50 years after this song was released we are still facing the same problems in the World. This could have been written today. Sad!

I was in those damn helicopters. 26 months but I was one of the lucky ones who came home. Too many friends didn't. Wars are stupid things!

Anyone that can get coagulating into a song and make it rhyme has to be special.

Situation in the Middle East is kinda Getting messy Came here to Listen to a 55 year old song... It’s too damn relevant

The more I learn about people, the more I like dogs.

the day i heard my brother was killed in viet nam ,...i was 11 years old... i went outside and hid behind our bale pile and cried...

As of June 25th, 2020. This songs is once again 90% Relevant.

This song is more relevant than ever...

What's old will be new again. Well, here we are in 2020. On the eve of destruction.

This song never ages is very true in today's climate

Everything that he sang about applies today. We solved nothing.

And to think this song is more than 50 years old. And as Seeger sang "when will they ever learn? "

This song is timeless for all the wrong reasons.

Here's a couple of verses I wrote to bring it up to date . . . "Fast forward now to, twenty twenty Computers were invented, and filled our homes a-plenty The internet was born, and everyone connected But no-one heard the word, how China got infected And Facebook didn’t see, the world get disconnected The leaders of our nations, just wanted it deflected To protect their jobs, so they could be elected While economies were wrecked, and workers got ejected Lost your job boy, it’s for your own good boy (CHORUS) Fortunes being made, by those with corporate greed The world is getting hungry, while a few control the feed The rich keep getting richer, driven by ambition Building war machines with loads of ammunition Climate keeps a changin’ but they have no real solution And our law and order, needs a revolution Our energy is fading, but the cost keeps on inflating Even race relations, are disintegrating This Coronavirus world, still needs some alteration So stay in your home, and prey for that injection" (CHORUS)

The best protest song ever, the sad part being it's still true of today's world.

How very true this song rings even today
