I guess I would have been called a headbanger, way back when. I love those bands. Great taste in music Halo.

I like the anger and disgust in this song, not because I'm a pessimist, but because it feels empowering. Like a rant you need to get off your chest.


Barry McGuire
The 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 4 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
Mm, no no, you don?t believe
We?re on the eve
of destruction.

Fallen
Sarah McLachlan


Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Confidence is a must

Interesting sense of style
Ten million dollar smile

Animal in the sack
His eyes see right to my soul
I surrender self-control
Catch me looking again
Falling right into my plan
