The eastern world, it is explodin
Violence flarin bullets loadinYou?e old enough to kill, but not for votinYou
don? believe in war, but what? that gun you?e totinAnd even the Jordan River
has bodies floatin
But you tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don? believe
We?e on the eve
of destruction.

Don? you understand what I? tryinto say
Can? you feel the fears I? feelintoday?
If the button is pushed, there? no runninaway
There?l be no one to save, with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
It? bound to scare you boy

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don? believe
We?e on the eve
of destruction.

Yeah, my blood? so mad feels like coagulatinI? sitting here just contemplatin
You can? twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don? pass legislation
And marches alone can? bring integration
When human respect is disintegratinThis whole crazy world is just too
frustratin
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don? believe
We?e 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, it? the same old place
The poundinof the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don? leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don? forget to say grace
Andtell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don? believe
We?e on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you don? believe
We?e on the eve
of destruction.
