I woke up this morning with a song stuck in my head that I think applies a hell of a lot more today than it did back in 1987, when it was released and I was listening to it. I have no idea what caused me to have this song, a song which I haven't even thought of, probably since high school, on my mind, but I figured I'd share it with you. It's as good a song today, if not better, than it was in 1987. I put a sample of the song here:
Anthrax - One World (sample)
Yes, it's Anthrax, and the guitars may be a little rough for some of you, but read the lyrics and I think you'll agree. Replace one word in the song and it definitely could have been written present time.
Stop it!
There's been too much debate
We could save ourselves from Holocaust
Or is that just our fate
Start now
But we continue to balk
We let the genie out of the bottle
But we still hold the cork
Bridge:
One, Two - NOT! Three, Four - DIE!
One, Two - NOT! Three, Four - DIE!
Pre-chorus:
Ignorance, is no excuse
For violence
NO ONE WINS...
Chorus:
ONE WORLD! ONE WORLD!!
ONE WORLD! - Welcome to it
ONE WORLD! - Don't abuse it
ONE WORLD! - To live out your life
ONE WORLD! - Total schism
Tunnel vision.
ONE WORLD - Taming the beast
Fighting for peace
Killing,
You pushed a button, that's all you did
It's much harder to kill a man
If you've seen pictures of his kids
Responsibility
And what are all our lives worth?
What kind of sentence would you serve
For killing the earth
Bridge
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
MOSH PART
LEAD BREAK
Chorus
Russians
They're only people like us
Do you really think they'd blow up the world
They don't love their lives less
America
Stop singing hail to the chief
Instead of thinking S.D.I.
He should be thinking of peace
Bridge
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
ONE WORLD!!!!
