Eve of Destruction Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Eastern world it is explodin'
Violence flarin' and bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, so what's that gun you're totin'?
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

[Verse 2]
Don't you understand, what I'm tryin' to say?
Can't you feel the fears that I'm feelin' today?
If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away
There'll be no one to save with the 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
That you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

[Verse 3]
Think of all the hate there is in Asia
Then turn around, my friend, look into our nation
You can't change the truth, it knows no regulation
And a handful of senators don't pass legislation
And marches alone won't bring integration
Yet, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

[Verse 4]
The whole human race is far out situation
We're supposed to be brothers but there's still segregation
You can go to the moon, spend two weeks in space
But when your come home it's the same old place
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace
And tell me over and over and over again my friend
That you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

[Outro]
Over and over and over again, my friend
That you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
