The eastern world it tis explodin`,
violence flarin`, bullets loadin`,
you`re old enough to kill but not for votin`,
you don`t believe in war, what`s that gun you`re totin`,
and 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 trying to say?
Can`t you see the fear that I`m feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there`s no running away,
There`ll be noone to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it`s bound to scare you, boy,
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction.
Yeah, 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,
and marches alone can`t 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 don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction.
Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
Tehn take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when your eturn, it`s the same old place,
the poundin` of the drums, th pride and disgrace,
you can bury your dead, but don`t leave a trace,
hate your next-door-neighbour, but don`t forget to say grace,
and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction.
