    2023: all those years since this song came out. I'm in my 70s now and every damn word holds true and may, in fact understate the case of the current world. We didn't learn a bloody thing.

      @@elweasel2010 World War 3 is on the verge of happening. A war which could quickly turn nuclear. This song describes how I feel perfectly. We are, as the human race, on the eve of destruction, ever since Biden entered office Violence started flaring up again in Europe, two wars with in just 3 or so months, one of which Biden considered getting us involved in going up against Russia, now China is threatening to invade Taiwan which could easily result in a world war. People need to wake up, take a look around them at the current state of the world, at the facts. You may not believe in war, but I assure you, once world war three starts eventually you will be holding a gun shooting another living breathing human with a family just like you, unless nukes drop before then.
