Eve of Destruction |
| Eastern world it is exploding |
| The violence flarin', bullets reloadin' |
| You’re old enough to kill but not for votin' |
| You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re toting |
| And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin' |
| And you tell me |
| Over and over and over again my friend |
| You don’t believe |
| We’re on the eve of destruction |
| Don’t you understand what I’m tryin' to say |
| And can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin' today |
| If the button is pushed there’s no runnin' away |
| There’ll be no one to save with the world in a grave |
| Take a look around you boy |
| It’s bound to scare you boy |
| When the human respect is disintegrating |
| And the whole crazy world is just too frustrating |
| And you tell me |
| Over and over and over again my friend |
| You don’t believe |
| We’re on the eve of destruction. |
| Ah you don’t believe |
| We’re on the eve of destruction. |
| Oh no! |
| Think of all the hate there is in Red China |
| Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama |
| Oh you might leave here for four days in space |
| But when you return it’s the same old place |
| The pounding of the drum, the pride and disgrace |
| You can bury your dead but don’t leave a trace |
| Hate your next-door neighbour but don’t forget to say grace |
| And you tell me |
| Over and over and over again my friend |
| You don’t believe |
| We’re on the eve of destruction. |
| And you can tell me |
| Over and over and over again my friend |
| You don’t believe |
| We’re on the eve of destruction. |
| You say you don’t believe |
| We’re on the eve of destruction. |
| You don’t believe |
| We’re on the eve of destruction. |
