Father, father

We don't need to escalate

You see, war is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today

Lovin' Spoonful

 

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart

How the music can free her, whenever it starts

And it's magic, if the music is groovy

It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie

I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul

But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

As the son of a son of a sailor,

I went out on the sea for adventure,

Expanding ther view of the captain and crew

Like a man just released from indenture.

Rod Stewart - The Killing of Georgie

 

Out of a darkened side street came

a New Jersey gang with just one aim

to roll some innocent passer-by

There ensued a fearful fight

screams rang out in the night

Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone

 

A leather kid, a switchblade knife

He did not intend to take his life

He just pushed his luck a little too far that night

It instantly came to mind when I saw your topic.

It was the one I was thinking. Yet Hank Williams Jr has a bigger hit with Coluntry Folks Will Survive, which is far less commercial sounding but in some ways the same topic.
