Eve Of Destruction |
The eastern world it is explodin' |
Violence flarin', bullets loadin' |
You're old enough to kill but not for votin' |
You don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin' |
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin' |
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend |
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction |
Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say? |
Can't you see the fears that I'm feeling today? |
If the button is pushed, there's no running 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 |
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend |
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction |
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin' |
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin' |
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation |
Handful of Senators don't pass legislation, |
And marches alone can't bring integration |
When human respect is disintegratin' |
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin' |
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend |
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction |
Think of all the hate there is in Red China |
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama! |
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space |
But when you return, it's the same old place |
The poundin' of the drums, 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 and over again my friend |
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction |
No no you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction |
