Eve of Destruction By Barry McGuire The eastern world it tis explodin, Violence flarin, bullets loadin, Youre old enough to kill but not for votin, You dont believe in war, but whats that gun youre totin, And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin, But you tell me over and over and over again my friend, Ah, you dont believe were on the eve of destruction. Dont you understand, what Im trying to say? And Cant you feel the fear that Im feeling today? If the button is pushed, theres no running away, Therell be no one to save with the world in a grave, Take a look around you, boy, its bound to scare you, boy, But you tell me over and over and over again my friend, Ah, you dont believe were on the eve of destruction. Yeah, my bloods so mad, feels like coagulatin, Im sittin here, just contemplatin, I cant twist the truth, it knows no regulation, Handful of Senators dont pass legislation, And marches alone cant bring integration, When human respect is disintegratin, This whole crazy world is just too frustratin, And you tell me over and over and over again my friend, Ah, you dont believe were on the eve of destruction. Think of all the hate there is in Red China! Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama! Ah, you may leave here, for eight days in space, But when your return, its the same old place, The poundin of the drums, the pride and disgrace, You can bury your dead, but dont leave a trace, Hate your next door neighbor, but dont forget to say grace, And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend, Ah, you dont believe were on the eve of destruction.
