Eve Of Destruction

The eastern world it is exploding

Violence flaring and bullets loading

You're old enough to kill

But not for voting

And that Jordan River has bodies floating

But 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 trying to say

Can't you feel 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 ya boy

It's bound to scare ya boy

But you tell me

Over and over and over again my friend

You don't believe

We're on the eve of destruction

My blood's so mad it feels like coagulating

I'm sitting here just contemplating

You can't twist the truth

It knows no regulation

And a handful of senators can't pass legislation

And marches alone can't bring integration

When human respect is disintegrating

Now this whole crazy world is just too frustrating

But you tell me

Over and over and over again my friend

You don't believe

We're on the eve of destruction

Incomprehensible

People I hate that's understood

It will make stuff hard to under

Was feeling blooded to human race

If you win your war it's the same old place

The pounding drums the pride and disgrace

You can bury your dead

But don't leave a trace

Hate your next door neighbor

But don't forget to say grace

But tell me

Over and over and over again my friend

You don't believe

We're on the eve of

But tell me

Over and over and over again my friend

You don't believe

We're on the eve of destruction

You don't believe

We're on the eve of destruction

You don't believe

We're on the eve of destruction

Yeah you don't believe

We're on the eve of destruction
