Eve Of Destruction — текст песни (Barry Mcguire)

The Eastern 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`?An` even the Jordan river has bodies floatin`.But 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 tryin` to say,An` can`t you feel the fears I`m feelin` today?If the button is pushed, there`s no runnin` away,There`ll be no one to save, will the world in a grave.Take a look around you, boy, it`s bound to scare you, boy.An` you tell me, over and over and over again, my friend,Ah, you don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction.
Yeak, my blood`s so mad feels like coagulatin`,I`m sittin` here just contemplatin`.I can`t twist the truth, it knows no regulation,Handful of senators don`t pass legislation,An` marches alone can`t bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin`,This whole crazy world is just too frustratin`.An` you 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.Ah, you may leave here for four days in space,But when you return it`s the same ol` place,The poundin` of the drums, the pride an` disgrace.You can bury your dead, but don`t leave a trace.Hate your next-door neighbor, but don`t forget to say grace,An` tell me, over and over and over again, my friend,You don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction,No, no, you don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction.
