Eve Of Destruction
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Eastern world it is exp loding
Violent flares and bullets loading
You're old enough to kill but not for voting
You don't believe in war but what's that gun your to ting?
And even the Jordan river has bodies floating
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe were on the eve of destruction
Well look at all the hate there is in Red China
Take a look around at Selma Alabama
You may leave here for four days in space
When you return it's that same old place
Love your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe were on the eve of destruction
You don't believe were on the eve of destruction
You don't believe were on the eve of destruction
