Are there any lyrics from older songs in your collection which are at least a little phrophetic as to their lyrics? This can be either in your personal life, or in the world in general. I can't think of one for my life in general, but as to world events, this song, "The Envoy," was included on a Warren Zevon CD released, iirc, in 1972. This is the first verse,
"Nuclear arms in the Middle East
Israel is attacking the Iraqis
The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese
And Baghdad does whatever she please
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy"
The first line, in particular, seems relevant today(along with the Syrian/Lebanese line), even though the song was written almost 35 years ago. Or is it just an example of the old cliche', "The more things change, the more they stay the same."?
