Eve Of Destruction

The eastern world it is explodin' Violence is flarin' and the bullets are loadin' You're old enough to kill but not for votin' You don't believe in war then what's that gun you're totin'? And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin' And ya tell me Over and over and over again my friend Uh, ya don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction Well don't you understand what I'm trying to say Ya, can't ya feel the fears I'm feelin' today? If the button is pushed there's no runnin' away And there will be no one to save with the world in a grave Take a look around you boy it's bound to scare ya, boy And ya tell me Over and over and over again my friend Uh, ya don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction Well my blood's so mad it feels like coagulatin' So I'm just sitting here just contemplatin' You can't twist the truth it has no regulation And a handful of senators don't pass legislation And marchers alone won't bring intervention When human respect is disintegratin' This whole fuckin' world is just so frustratin' And ya tell me Over and over and over again my friend Uh, ya don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction Think of all the hate there is in Red China And take a look around in your own back yard You may leave here for four days in space And when you return It's the same old place The pounding of the drums the frightened and discgrace You can bury yout dead but don't leave a trace And hate your next door neighbour but don't forget to say grace You tell me Over and over and over and over again my friend But don't believes we're on the Eve of Destruction Oh-h-h, no, you don't believe that we're on the Eve of Destruction
