I heard over the air today:
bombs and missiles are here to stay.
It's hard to believe it, but I do.
They hit the moon with mice and men;
one day they'll be bringing 'em back again.
It's hard to believe it, but I do.
How can they spend a million on a rocket head,
when there's millions on earth in need of bread?
It's hard to believe it, but they do.
We're all in for a shock -- and soon --
when we find living creatures on the moon.
It's hard to believe it, but I do.
I don't need a telescope to see
what our future on earth is gonna be.
Don't you disguise it, no no, not for me.
I put my plea, for all it's worth:
Let's first make this a better earth.
I really believe it, yes, I do.

Joe Meek, "It's hard to believe it", 1966
