Eve Of Destruction lyrics

The eastern world
It is explodin`.
Violence flarin`
Bullets loadin`.
You`re old enough to kill,
But not for votin`.
You don`t beleive in war,
But what`s that gun you`re totin`?
And even the Jordan River
Has bodies floatin`.

But ya tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend,
Ah, you don`t believe
We`re on the eve of destruction

And don`t you understand
What I`m tryin` to say
And can`t you feel the fears
That 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 aroun you, boy.
It`s bound to scare you, boy

And ya tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend,
Ah, you don`t believe
We`re on the eve of destruction

But think of all the hate
There is in red China.
Then take a look around
To Selma, Alabama.
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 it dead,
But don`t leave a trace.
Hate your next door neighbor,
But don`t forget to say grace.

And tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend,
You don`t believe
We`re on the eve of destruction
Ah, no, no, you don`t believe
We`re on the eve of destruction.
