Story behind the song
I first recorded an analog tape demo of this song in 1980, back when I was the most fired up about these issues. No one ever responded positively to the song. It was too disturbing a message for the times. It would have fit more with the late 60's ethos, but not the Disco / Punk era, and today it's pretty obvious that we're just going to crash headlong into disaster, with NATO leading the way.
Lyrics
There's no regard for our mother earth it's plain to see Technology has outweighed our humanity Inertial forces that control the economy Are going to drive us on like a cattle run over the edge So turn back There's no more fear of a God almighty evermore He's either written off or else called upon to win a war The invocation of his name for worldly gain Is going to burn a hole through the fallen soul of modern man So turn back There's no regard for the worth of the golden rule Troubled kids are tormented everyday of school The pecking order has become damnably cruel It's going to curse the young till our heads are hung in dirty shame So turn back
