Eve Of Destruction — текст песни (Geff Harrison)

The Eastern world
it is explodin`

Violence flares and 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

That you don`t believe
we`re on the eve of destruction.
Now
don`t you understand what I`m tryin` to say

And can`t you feel the fears I`m feelin` today.
If the button is pushed there`ll be no runnin` away

There`s no one to save when the world`s 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
. . .
Yeah
my blood`s so mad
feels like coagulatin`

I`m sittin` here just contemplatin`.
But I can`t twist the truth
it knows no regulations
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 too frustratin`.

And you tell me over and over and over again
my friend
. . .
When I think of all the people way out there in China

Then I take a look around me at Selma
Alabama.
Now
you may leave here
for four days in space
But when you retrun
it`s the same old place.
It`s the poundin` of the drums
the pride and disgrace

You can bury your dead
but don`t leave a trace.
Hate your next-door-neighbour
but donY fol`get to say grace.
And you tell me over and over and over again
my friend
. . .
