Lyrics:
Bob Trout for CBS News – March 4, 1938:
“Presenting the distinguished International News commentator and foreign correspondent Raymond Graham Swing. This is another of his programs known as World Events, on which Mr. Swing gives his interpretations of international affairs.”
The world is raging
And I need saving
My hope is fading
I’m thinking maybe, maybe
You’re not the person
I knew for certain
Don’t let it worsen
If ain’t working, working
It just don’t feel right
When your claims are black and white
I think you’re lost in the shuffle
And that’s trouble
You think you’re smart as you carry the contagion
While you drop the bar for the real information
Work so hard just to try to be outrageous
But you’re dangerous, you’re dangerous
We’re all starved for a single inspiration
Now that we’re all marked for a modern desolation
Fumble through the dark, feeling so courageous
But you’re dangerous, you’re dangerous
No more running
Why are we slumming?
Feeling punished
And I am numbing, numbing
I’m breaking the pattern
Before we are shattered
Let go of the dagger
Try stopping the bomb before the disaster
Why can’t you explain
How your “kind words” sound profane?
Seems like you’re enjoying the struggle
And that’s trouble
You think you’re smart as you carry the contagion
While you drop the bar for the real information
Work so hard just to try to be outrageous
But you’re dangerous, you’re dangerous
We’re all starved for a single inspiration
Now that we’re all marked for a modern desolation
Fumble through the dark, feeling so courageous
But you’re dangerous, you’re dangerous
Raymond Graham Swing:
“They disliked his Hebraic origins. They disliked his Humanitarianism. They thought it made men soft. But most of all, they wanted the State to have the supreme authority to tell men what to do. They came close to following the old Roman custom of promoting their Emperor to a deity, making Hitler the voice of God.”
