I've re-written Barry McGuire's classic Eve Of Destruction (below for anyone who's not aware of its genius) for September 2017.
If anyone can sing and play guitar help yourselves, I'll take 50%. I expect Barry will want some too.
In the United States, they wanna build a wall
In Afghanistan, they wanna kill us all
Boat loads of migrants on dinghies from Libya
You're fleeing war but they don't want you here
Missiles over Japan fired from North Korea
While Russian tanks roll into Crimea
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
Ah you don't believe, we're on the Eve Of Destruction
The streets of the West are busy and vibrant
But you can't join in, you're an economic migrant
You could set up a camp, we'll send in the police
You lost track of your family on an island near Greece
You met people smugglers but you can't afford their fees
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
Ah you don't believe, we're on the Eve Of Destruction
Thousands die in floods in Bangladesh
And they focus on Houston where there's been 20 deaths
White supremacists, on the streets of Virginia
Genocide of Yazidi, genocide of Rohingya
Where does the hate come from? You don't have it in ya
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
Ah you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction
You don't believe, we're on the Eve of Destruction
