Long version newly re-mastered including the instrumental jam at the end.
Dynamic 3 piece Classic Rock band from Oakley, CA. If you wanna ROCK, check us out!
The band started in 1985 as a revolt to the newer music that relied heavily on repetitive beats and electronics. We were inspired by the Rock bands of the 60's and 70's who relied on electric guitars and acoustic drums for their sound.
Story behind the song
This song was written after 9/11 about the future and general apathy of many people.
Lyrics
When all is said and done,
you won’t listen to anyone.
You’ve better things to do,
than growing old in the human zoo.
And you don’t have the time,
soon you won’t have peace of mind.
Round and round the wheel of fortune goes,
and when it stops all of the world will know.
Eve of destruction comes,
better tuck your head and run.
The things you said you’d do,
minutes counting up too few.
You just can’t hesitate,
even though you’re forced to wait.
The things they say, it’s said may not be true,
it doesn’t matter when they call it news.
Now you tend to look away,
and never have too much to say.
Some things just are not the same,
I don’t want to go out today.
I guess I’ll have to lie in bed,
something’s gotten in my head.
Round and round the wheel of fortune goes,
and when it stops all of the world will know.
No, I don’t think you’re insane,
that’s just my opinion anyway.
We’ve all seen better days,
gee it looks like rain today.
The rest is better left unsaid,
sooner or later we’ll all be dead.
Happily ever after as the story goes,
a fool discounts what a wise man knows.
You see a fortune evaporate,
you gotta know they were not playing straight.
