The worlds goin crazy and Nobody gives a damn anymore .When something threatens something you have several options, try to calm it down, dismiss it, eliminate or destroy it, and when all else fails you make it acceptable so that it becomes just like every other part of the establishment and by doing so you weaken the entire credibility of the movement instead and just turn it to another part of your army. Thats what they did to the whole whole peace, anti war movement, and rock and roll and everything it stood for. They could not stop it, or squelch it, and they were afraid of it so they made it part of the norm and status quo and we the counter culture and general public let them do it to us... and I dont want to be destroyed like everybody else could be the greatest lyrical rewrite in history God save us all, Save me from tomorrow because were all sailing on the ship of fools hundreds of years from now if we survive that long, they are going to look back and the 1950s, especially the 60s and even much of the 70s as a time when we had it all, and had the world at our feet, and then how we totally exploited it all and destroyed ourselves in to the age of technology and mechanical nightmares by taking a good thing too far and not knowing when to stop. Man made the buildings that reach for the skyAnd man made the motorcar and learned how to fly But he didnt make the flowers and he didnt make the treesAnd he didnt make you and he didnt make meAnd he got no right to turn us into machines, Hes got no right at allCause we are all Gods childrenAnd he got no right to change usOh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all Dont want this world to change me I wanna go back the way the good lord made me Same lungs that he gave me to breath with Same eyes he gave me to see with Ray Davies Theyll move me up to Muswell Hill tomorrow,Photographs and souvenirs are all Ive got,Theyre gonna try and make me change my way of living,But theyll never make me something that Im not.Cos Im a Muswell Hillbilly boy,But my heart lies in old West Virginia,Never seen New Orleans, Oklahoma, Tennessee,Still I dream of the Black Hills that I aint never seen.Theyre putting us in little boxes,No character just uniformity,Theyre trying to build a computerised community,But theyll never make a zombie out of me. Ray Davies is my Hero, and along with a few others will someday be remembered as one of the few who predicted it all but nobody listened to them. The powers that be say they cant keep a hold Of a world that is escalating out of control Out on the street theres a war going on And everythings going wild The worlds spinning round like a looney balloonHeading for a collision with Saturn and MarsAnd were narrowly missing the man in the moon,Spinning out of control crashing into the stars.Have we all lost our gravity, reason and sanity?Is this the price that we pay?Have we now lost our way on this looney balloon? But for all we know, we might still have a way to go
