Eve Of Destruction

The eastern world, it is exploding
Violenceflarin', bullets loadin'
You'reold enough to kill, but not forvotin'
You don'tbelieve inwar, butwhat's thatgun you're totin'
Andeven the Jordan Riverhas bodiesfloatin'

But you tell me
Over and over and overagain, myfriend
Ah, you don'tbelieve
We're on theeve
of destruction.

Don't you understandwhat I'm tryin' to say
Can't you feel thefears I'm feelin'today?
If the button ispushed, there's no runnin'away
There'll be no one to save, withthe world in a grave
[Take alook around ya boy, it's bound toscare ya boy]

And you tell me
Over and over and overagain, myfriend
Ah, you don'tbelieve
We're on theeve
of destruction.

Yeah, myblood's somad feels like coagulatin'
I'm sitting here just contemplatin'
I can't twist thetruth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don'tpass legislation
Andmarches alone can'tbring integration
Whenhuman respect is disintegratin'
Thiswhole crazy world is just toofrustratin'

And you tell me
Over and over and overagain, myfriend
Ah, you don'tbelieve
We're on theeve
of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Thentake alook around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for 4days inspace
Butwhen you return, it's the sameold place
The poundin' of thedrums, thepride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don't leave atrace
Hate yournext-door neighbor, but don't forget to saygrace

And... tell me over and over and over and overagain, myfriend
You don'tbelieve
We're on theeve
Of destruction
Ah, no no, you don'tbelieve
We're on theeve
of destruction.
