Eve Of Destruction Lyrics

Lyric discussion by JackofHearts 

Cover art for Eve Of Destruction lyrics by Barry Mcguire

The venom and anger in his voice is inspiring - apparently they intended to re-recorded it with more 'polished' vocals, but this version had already taken off on the radio. The main cocnern seems to be nuclear weapons, but Vietnam and race relations come into play as well. Another 60s protest song which sadly isn't outdated and passé now - people never seem to learn. People will routinely be returning from four days in space amidst wars, famine, poverty and crime in a few decades' time.

@JackofHearts This song remains as relevant as ever, even now.
