Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction

Uploaded on Jun 22, 2008


http://plentyoftorrents.com Lyrics:
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 fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be noone to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
but 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!
Tehn take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when your eturn, it's the same old place,
the poundin' of the drums, th 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,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

The American Kennel Club defines a cane corso as a muscular and large-boned dog, historically kept as a property watchdog that hunted wild boar. 
Today, they are known to be affectionate to their owner and bond closely with children and family. The large and athletic breed requires a lot of exercise but can be easily trained.
LAPEER, Mich. - A couple whose two dogs mauled a jogger on a rural Michigan road have been charged with murder, reports CBS Detroit.
Sebastiano Quagliata, 45, and Valbona Lucaj, 44, are due in Lapper District Court Friday on charges of second-degree murder and possessing a dangerous animal causing death, according to the station. Warrants were issued against the couple on Thursday.
Craig Sytsma, 46, of Livonia, Mich., was out jogging was attacked by two cane corso dogs and he later died from his wounds.
In addition to the murder charges, federal authorities said Quagliata and Lucaj are Italian and Albanian, respectively, living in the U.S. illegally. A report in the Detroit Free Press stated they were facing imminent deportation at the time of the attack. 
Authorities said it was the third attack by the dogs in the past two years. The couple was apparently breeding dogs at their property, officials said.
Hodges said the two cane corsos involved in the attack were maybe two-and-a-half feet tall.   The dogs have a history of escaping from their kennel and have bitten at least twice before.
The station reports police looked into both incidents before turned the cases over to animal control officials. The owners were ticketed but the dogs were never removed, Saltsman said.
