Artists of the time were warning us of the toxic wasteland we were creating even back when Motown and pysodelic music were the rage, when Disco was beginning its rise. This song aired in 1970.

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
Fell secure it’s all around you

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 they’re all around you

Miles and miles of gasoline fumes
In the air like transparent tombs
Feel secure they’re all around you

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

Eat well they’re all within you
Town coming down
