Eve Of Destruction

The eastern world it is exploding

Violence flaring and bullets loading

You're old enough to kill but not for voting

You don't believe in war but what's that gun you're toting

Even the jordan river has bodies floating

But ya tell me over and over and over again my friend

Ah you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Don't you understand what I'm trying to say

And can't you feel the fears that I'm feeling today

If the button is pushed there's no running away

There'll be nowone to save with the world in a grave

Take a look around you boy

It's bound to scare you boy

But ya tell me over and over and over again my friend

Ah 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

You may leave here for four days in space

But when you return it's the same old place

The pounding of the 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 ya tell me over and over and over again my friend

Ah you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
