Eve of Destruction. Composição: Barry McGuire. The Byrds, 1967. Letra: The eastern world, it is 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 yah 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 tryin to say Cant you feel the fears that Im feelin today? If the button is pushed, theres no runnin 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 And yah 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 sitting here just contemplatin You 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 But yah 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 You may leave here for 4 days in space But when you return, its the same old place The poundin of the drum, 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... tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend You dont believe Were on the eve Of destruction.
