For sure! This is very sad for me to think about. I remember when that song came out and how in the late 50's and early 60's I often wondered if we were going to blow ourselves to smithereens in a nuclear war. And now we seem even closer to living on the edge of the apocalypse.
But then, I have to remember that throughout history people have lived with the fear of impending doom. The truth of the matter is, death and disaster are always close at hand and the best response to that is to live fearlessly and purposefully, giving the grim reaper all due respect but not to the point of being enslaved by fear.
As a side not, when I was a kid, my father who worked for United Airlines took our family to a celebration event commemorating UAL's first jet service by way of its purchasing of it's first commercial jet aircraft- a Douglas DC-8 which we were able to walk through. Musical entertainment for that event included the New Christy Minstrels featuring this big, burly singer with an awesome baritone voice- Mr. Barry McGuire. And Barry is still alive and kicking at age 84!
Interesting...the other day I was listening to The Who and felt such... !!! ...at the lyrics of this. Had enough indeed!
I've had enough of bein' nice I've had enough of right and wrong I've had enough of tryin' to love my brother
I've had enough of bein' good And doin' everything like i'm told I should If you need a lover, you'd better find another
Life is for the living Takers never giving
Suspicion takes the place of trust My love is turning into lust If you get on the wrong side of me you better run for cover
I've had enough of bein' trodden on My passive days are gonna be long gone If you slap one cheek, well, I ain't gonna turn the other
Life is for the living Takers never giving
Fooling no one but ourselves Good is dying
Here comes the end Here comes the end of the world
I'm gettin' sick of this universe Ain't gonna get better; it's gonna get worse And the world's gonna sink with the weight of the human race
Hate and fear in every face I'm gettin' ready and I've packed my case If you find somewhere better, can you save my place?
Fooling no one but ourselves Love is dying
Here comes the end Here comes the end Here comes the end of the world
Great song by John Entwisle. Interestingly, they also have the song called "I've Had Enough" off Quadrophenia:
I've had enough of living I've had enough of dying I've had enough of smiling I've had enough of crying I've taken all the high roads I've squandered and I've saved I've had enough of childhood I've had enough of graves

Keeping with the theme: (this isn't quite right as there is no on-line lyrics page that got this one right for to copy and paste and I'm too lazy today to transcribe and besides that, I'VE HAD IT with on-line lyrics pages! )
"You've Had it With You" by Paul Westerberg
I had it with the friend who uses me
To open doors like I was a skeleton key
I had it with everyone, had it with anyone I ever knew
You've had it with you
You need someone to fall in love, need someone to fall in love
Any anyone will do
You've had it with you
Like Catherine the Great underneath a big horse
Your sexual preference is me of course
I get away with murder and I promise not to hurt her
If I have to shoot
Had it with you
Had it with your shoes..
Had it with you baby and your star-cheap car
I'm fading faster than a UK pop star
I've had it with everyone, everyone I ever knew well I do
You had it with your neighbors, had it with your clothes
You had it with your records, and you know,
You had it with your friend, had it with your shoes,
You had it, goddammit! You've had it with you!

^^^^^^ Ha, it looks like you were in progress to make a Trump olive.
I don't drink much at all but when he's elected out of office I'm certainly going to have several. In fact most of us here should have that drink a strong one, I'm sure that buffoon has given me a few more grey hairs.

And now for an in-the-lounge-car 6 second show by a very famous (or possibly infamous, but great) lounge band:
that immediately made me think of something i'd see on the muppet show.
The Circle Jerks on The Muppet Show... now there's a great idea!
it was the way the singer was flailing his head around....looked like a muppet.
Haha, I see what you mean!
That, by the way is Keith Morris who sang with Blag Flag for awhile, then Circle Jerks, and now with the band, Off. I met him at a book signing for his book, My Damage. I asked him about filming that scene for Repo Man and he said it was brutal. The he and guys were told to put on these tuxes and wait in their trailer. It was hot and they had to wait practically all day before finally getting filmed. I told him it the scene came off great and how much I dug it in the film. He gave me a knuckle bump. Very cool dude.

I've had enough of right and wrong
I've had enough of tryin' to love my brother
I've had enough of bein' good
And doin' everything like i'm told I should

Life is for the living
Takers never giving
Suspicion takes the place of trust
My love is turning into lust

If you slap one cheek, well, I ain't gonna turn the other
Life is for the living
Takers never giving
Fooling no one but ourselves
Good is dying
Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world
I'm gettin' sick of this universe
Ain't gonna get better; it's gonna get worse

Hate and fear in every face

Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world
I've had enough of dying
I've had enough of smiling
I've had enough of crying
I've taken all the high roads
I've squandered and I've saved
I've had enough of childhood
I've had enough of graves
To open doors like I was a skeleton key
I had it with everyone, had it with anyone I ever knew
You've had it with you

the tag starts about the 3 minute mark if interested
Very cool!
