    This song describes today's time more than it did the eighties! Crying parents tell their children If you survive, don't do as we did A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to Her daughter says she'll be dead with you While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten Line morale has hit rock bottom Dying embers stand forgotten Talks of peace were being trodden Stand or fall State your peace tonight Stand or fall State your peace tonight Is this the value of our existence Should we proclaim with such persistence Our destiny relies on conscience Red or blue, what's the difference Stand or fall State your peace tonight Stand or fall State your peace tonight It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre An empty face reflects extinction Ugly scars divide the nation Desecrate the population There will be no exultation Stand or fall State your peace tonight Stand or fall State your peace tonight It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall

    Yes, and it also deserves more Likes than it gets from the views it's already had. But would you believe that the # of Likes being more than 1% of all the views, as this one has, is very rare on KZread? Look at any other great songs on YT, incl Zeppelin, and you'll see what I mean.

Late 80's i was a toddler then little kid, early to mid 70's was a kid to pre-teen, mid 70's to late 80's I was a teen then a young man and girls and all they brought enhanced the music at each period mid 70's onwards.

She was being celebrated at her 20th HS Class reunion took the mic and said " very simply, this toast is for my husband, king daemon, (i stand applause continues) the only man i know who could have said to his fraternity brothers upon graduating from the University with honors in Chemistry, 'this toast is for my future wife, who tonight is graduating from junior high school somewhere in the San Fernando Valley' " of course, i was agape! and she got a standing ovation and everybody came & shook my hand.
