Das war seinerzeit der ultimate anti Kriegssong überhaupt! Und hat bis heute nichts an Brisanz und Wahrheit verloren.

NOT WAR - KEIN KRIEGMusik die ich gerne höre.Barry McGuire - Eve Of Destruction( ursprünglich hochgeladen von The Best Of - Home Of Classic Music )Eve of Destruction Songtext ÜbersetzungDie östliche Welt explodiertGewalt lodert auf, Kugeln werden geladenDu bist alt genug um zu töten, aber nicht um zu wählenDu glaubst nicht an den Krieg, was bedeutet dann die Waffe die du trägst?Und selbst auf dem Jordan treiben schon LeichenAber mein Freund, du sagst mir wieder und wieder und nochmals wiederAh, dass du nicht glaubst, dass wir kurz vor der Zerstörung stehenVerstehst du nicht, was ich zu sagen versuche?Kannst du die Ängste, welche ich heute fühle, nicht begreifen?Wenn der Knopf gedrückt ist, gibt es kein EntkommenWenn die Welt in einem Grab liegt, dann kann man keinen mehr rettenSieh dich um Junge, es muss dich doch erschrecken, JungeAber mein Freund, du sagst mir wieder und wieder und nochmals wiederAh, dass du nicht glaubst, dass wir kurz vor der Zerstörung stehenJa, mein Blut kocht so sehr, dass es sich anfühlt, als ob es gerinnen würdeIch sitze hier und denke einfach nachIch kann die Wahrheit nicht verdrehen, sie kennt keine VorschriftenEine Hand voll Senatoren werden ihre Legislatur nicht überstehenUnd im Alleingang zu handeln kann keine Integration herbeiführenWenn menschlicher Respekt kaum vorhanden istDiese ganze verrückte Welt ist einfach zu frustrierendAber mein Freund, du sagst mir wieder und wieder und nochmals wiederAh, dass du nicht glaubst, dass wir kurz vor der Zerstörung stehenDenk an all den Hass der in Rotchina herrschtDann schau dich mal in Selma, Alabama, umAch, du könntest für vier Tage ins Weltall fliegenAber wenn du zurückkommen würdest, wäre es der selbe immer gleiche OrtDas Hämmern der Trommeln, der Stolz und die SchandeDu kannst die Toten begraben, aber hinterlass keine SpurenHasse deinen Nächsten, aber vergiss darüber nicht ein Dankgebet zu sprechenAber mein Freund, du sagst mir wieder und wieder und nochmals wiederAh, dass du nicht glaubst, dass wir kurz vor der Zerstörung stehen

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, 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 friendAh, you don't believe we're on the eve of destructionDon't you understand, what I'm trying to say?Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?If the button is pushed, there's no running awayThere'll be none to save with the world in a graveTake a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boyBut you tell me over and over and over again my friendAh, you don't believe we're on the eve of destructionYeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin'I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulationHandful of Senators don't pass legislationAnd marches alone can't bring integrationWhen human respect is disintegratin'This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'And you tell me over and over and over again my friendAh, you don't believe we're on the eve of destructionThink of all the hate there is in Red ChinaThen take a look around to Selma, AlabamaAh, you may leave here for four days in spaceBut when you return it's the same old placeThe poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgraceYou can bury your dead but don't leave a traceHate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say graceAnd you tell me over and over and over and over again my friendAh, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.......1965

A well produced video to this song. Fortunately it was just a song in the '60's, but today, forty five years later, we still teeter on the brink of destruction. Can we hold it together a little longer my friends?

Its ironic, i was in a band (Nashville Teens )in the early 60`s.and we covered this song ) great song. Then i was drafted into the USMC, ( i`m British....long story ) did 2 tours of Viet-Nam ( very popular that made me!!). so fast forward to now, and in a band, and a member said "have you ever heard of this song (eve of destruction), so i sat down and played and sang the complete thing, accompanied myself on bass, chords and all, got to the end and felt it all well up inside me............nothing has f*****g changed, how very very sad!!So now this song is back in the set, you just never know, anyway it goes down well with Portuguese and Spanish crowds!!!prob have no idea wot we`re on about??
