I grew up in Downey Ca. and I remember hearing there songs on the radio. The combination of harmonica saxes and flute had the most unusual sound. Loved these guys....👉🎷👈

[@hephzbah1130]

I was 12 the year this album came out. Yes it lit up the air of my world with this tune coming from ALL types of radios, 8 tracks, and turntables. It was awesome.

[@jayjacqueline615]

The poetic verses of this song inspired me to start writing songs when I heard it at 12.

[@timskwierc2830]

This song is so relevant today June 2024 who knows what tomorrow brings

[@Thizzamajig]

Tomorrow brings remembrance of yesterday. Enjoy the present, it's not going to get better.

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

The late 1960s-early-1970s were an especially fascinating time music wise as it related to what was REALLY going on @ the world and in society as a whole at that time. 🌎

[@matthewclapp2028]

Rip Brooks Schwartz 😢 you turned me onto war that time we tripped and it was an amazing experience.....

[@wordgirl6267]

My brother Vic (R.I.P.) turned me on to this too .. never forget that day

[@gladysmronda9802]

WOW😊 BEE YOO TI FUL❤ As soulful as the song...

[@jessemossberg8108]

B.B.'s haunting vocals here really shine with light and truth. He had his issues, as we all do, but this song heals much. In any case, he has gone home to his Maker, where Lazarus is poor no longer. Thank you and God bless you, Mr. Dickerson.

[@lukeasacher]

Amen.

I dug the War classics as a kid, just like most. then I found Platinum Jazz in the mid/late 70's and was just blown away.

[@thetruth4025]

This was before synthesized music. Yes people, there was a time when musicians played instruments, and this is what it sounded like.

I'm 64 and this is my anthem since I was... 12?

[@peterpeper4837]

Where is the sax solo? That is sacrilegious.

[@robertlamkin6464]

This is the 45 rpm version; the version that the WABCs played in 1973.

[@hansvandermeulen5515]

Frank Zappa quotes this song in his solo in Pygmy Twylyte on You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore vol. 2. Chords altrrnating between C#min and Dmaj7 sounds very much like Zappa's Black Napkins.

this song is actually depressing despite it sounding happy

[@aikijb]

Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed Looking at the sky, starry-eyed Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed Crying in the night, teary-eyed Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Wonder when I'll find paradise Somewhere there's a home sweet and nice Wonder if I'll find happiness Never give it up now I guess Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo There's no need to search anywhere Happiness is here, have your share If you know you're loved, be secure Paradise is love to be sure Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo

[@xochi98]

Why did you change ghetto to dojo?

[@aikijb]

@@xochi98 Poetic license. Because this construct is a dojo of free-style randori. Thx 4 the question.

[@aikijb]

Artistic license Artistic license (also known as art licenselo, historical license, dramatic license, poetic license, narrative license, licentia poetica, or simply license) is a colloquial term, sometimes a euphemism, used to denote the distortion of fact, alteration of the conventions of grammar or language, or rewording of pre-existing text made by an artist in the name of art.
