What " Social Conscious " song , gets you every time ?

Great song chosen by BDR, and here's mine................

Original Eve of Destruction, Barry McGuire

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 friend,

ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?

Can't you see the fears that I'm feeling today?

If the button is pushed, there's no running away,

There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,

take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, 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 sittin' 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!

Ah, you may leave here, for four 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-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,

and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,

you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

no no you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Country Joe McDonald - "Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die"

Come on all of you big strong men

Uncle Sam needs your help again

he's got himself in a terrible jam

way down yonder in Viet Nam so

put down your books and pick up a gun we're

gonna have a whole lotta fun

And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for

don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam

And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates

ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die

Come on wall street don't be slow

why man this war is a go-go

there's plenty good money to be made by

supplying the army with the tools of its trade

let's hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,

they drop it on the Viet Cong

Come on generals, let's move fast

your big chance has come at last

now you can go out and get those reds

cos the only good commie is the one that's dead and

you know that peace can only be won when we've

blown 'em all to kingdom come

Come on mothers throughout the land

pack your boys off to Viet Nam

come on fathers don't hesitate

send your sons off before it's too late

and you can be the first ones on your block

to have your boy come home in a box

Easy to be Hard- Three Dog Night. Written by, who else? Randy Newman. Second place goes to Miranda(she's a Rudolph Valentino fan, and she doesn't seem to understand, she makes brownies for the boys in the band) by the great Phil Ochs

Excellent Choice Dizz. One song that comes to mind as an obvious choice is the epitome of socially conscious songs:

BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?

Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea?

Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free?

Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,

Pretending he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?

Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry?

Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Lately, the one that is stuck in my head is:

Pants on the ground

Pants on the ground

Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground

With the gold in your mouth

Hat turned sideways

Pants hit the ground

Call yourself a cool cat

Looking like a fool

Walking downtown with your pants on the ground

Get it up

Hey, get your pants off the ground

Looking like a fool

Walkin', talkin', with your pants on the ground

Get it up

Hey, get your pants off the ground

Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground

Gold in your mouth

Hat turned sideways

Pants hit the ground

Call yourself a cool cat

Looking like a fool

Walkin', talkin', with your pants on the ground

Boom, Uno, Dos, Tres

Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground

With the gold in your mouth

Hat turned sideways

Pants hit the ground

Call yourself a cool cat
