Eve of Destruction

Lyrics

Well, this whole world, it is explodin' Violence flarin', bullets loadin' You're old enough to kill but not for votin' You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'? And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin' And you 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? Can't you feel the fears that I'm feeling today? If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away There'll be no one to save with the whole world in a grave Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction Yeah, blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin' I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin' I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation A handful of senators don't pass legislation And marches alone can't bring integration When human respect is disintegratin' This whole crazy world is just, just too frustratin' And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
