Eve of Destruction |
| The eastern world is explodin' |
| Violence flarin' and bullets loadin' |
| You’re old enough to kill but not for votin' |
| You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin' |
| And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin' |
| And you tell me over and over and over again my friends |
| How you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction |
| Well can’t you see what I’m trying to say? |
| Can’t you feel the fear I’m feeling today? |
| When the button is pushed, there’s no running away |
| There’ll be no one to save when the world is 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 friends |
| How you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction |
| Yeah, you tell me over and over and over again my friends |
| How you don’t see we’re on the eve of destruction |
| Well, my blood’s so mad, feels like coagulatin' |
| I’m sittin' here, I’m contemplatin' |
| You can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation |
| And a handful of Senators don’t pass legislation |
| One march alone can’t bring integration |
| And human respect is just disintegratin' |
| Human respect is just disintegratin' |
| And you tell me over and over and over again my friends |
| How you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction |
| Yes, you tell me over and over and over again my friends |
| How 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 |
| Oh, the poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace |
| You can bury your dead, yeah, but don’t leave a trace |
| You hate your next-door neighbour, but you still stay grace |
| You hate your next-door neighbour, but you still stay grace |
| Then you tell me over and over and over again my friends |
| How you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction |
| Yeah, you tell me over and over and over and over again |
| My friends |
| How you don’t see we’re on the eve of destruction |
| Oh, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction |
