By Iron Butterfly from their 1970 album, Metamorphosis, points to the man-made environmental degradation well established in the zeitgeist long before our present crises… and apparently, we still haven’t learned.

Slower Than Guns, by Iron Butterfly 

Can you feel the manmade mist
As it starts to twist your lungs?
Slower than guns

Breathe deep
As you enter sleep
Feel secure it’s all around ya

Can you see the golden brown
As it circles round your town
Town coming down

Smokin’ stacks on industry’s backs
In this land of a cigarette pack
Feel secure there all around ya

Miles and miles of gasoline fumes
In the air like transparent tombs
Feel secure there all around ya

DDT making bugs relax
They’re in your food like poison tacks
How about that

Eat well they’re all within ya
Town coming down
