As relevant today as it ever was!

I was on an Army base when this came out and they weren't allowed to play this song, but you would hear it everywhere. It's still so true.

@blondago56 If god can make your life that much better, why would he ruin it in the first place with alcohol and other drugs? God is motivation boost for usually weak people to change their life, but that doesn't change that fact the he is not real.

As I posted in response to a clip of Donovan singing Universal Soldier the terrible thing about this song is that it is still relevant today

Amazing set design and choreography. I thought I had seen it all.......

One of the truest songs ever sung, and it still holds up to this day. Rmaze

Play after Donovan's universal soldier and try and think will they ever learn.

il bello di internet non è il potere che regala al popolo, è vedere che nell'istante in cui tu hai voglia di una canzone, qualcuno dall'altra parte del mondo ha desiderato la stessa cosa!

@ruswhit60 Nope. Not until we have destroyed the planet one way or another and of course safely shipped a contingent of us stupid humans off to colonize some other world and start the process all over again.

Probably one of Charles Manson's favs.

He Was just interviewed today on 107.9/kwve... this song was written to make people think and it does just that..

Mr. Mcguire became a Christian believer after this song came out.. He had a near death experience and was hooked on alcohol and drugs, pot, etc..He's In his early 70'snow and he said God is the best thing that ever happened to him.
