Bad Moon Rising (Click on link or image to play song)
I see a bad moon rising refers to things that go wrong--disasters. We should not mess with disasters.
Some say because this song was written around Nixon's election that the song refers to Nixon. Nixon was the bad moon that rose and would destroy our nation much in unison with hurricanes and other synonymous bad weather.
You can take it to the extreme with that, which is probably what it was inspired by, but I think the meaning is simply anything that can be messy. Stay away from a bad moon on the rise; it can only damage you.
So the conclusion to the meaning of the song would have to be that if you see a bad moon, kill it with fire.
But then you would have to think, what if that means you were the bad moon the whole time.
