(Still on the) Eve of Destruction

[Verse 1]
Lord, the western world it is in danger
So many years have gone by, seems so little has changed here
Takin' hi-tech polls while the fabric decays
When power is in the hands of a few, how much the innocent pay
And my fears for you, America, are never far away

[Chorus]
But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
No, we don't believe still on the eve of destruction

[Verse 2]
And I think of this blue earth, her little mountains and rain forests
Take a look around, see you turn the ocean into desert
You wanna cut it down, 'til all the air is brown in the name of progress and haste
'Til there is no room for the living: animal, rivers or lakes
And in our ignorance we suffer for the selfish choices that we make

[Chorus]
But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
No, no, no, they don't believe we're still on the eve of destruction

[Verse 3]
Yes, and I know you can understand what I'm tryin' to say
I know you've seen the madness man has led us to today
Some of us believe now is the time for a new enlightened age
Where the business of life runs in harmony with nature
Because nature reflects the beauty within yourself, yeah
And just this change in attitude would ring out the Liberty Bell
For the hungry and the hopeful and the helpless as well

[Chorus]
But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
No, no, no, you don't believe we're still on the eve of destruction, oh

[Verse 4]
At the source of the silence you hear a song of creation
Transcends the borders of my mind's imagination
Yet, now they can twist the truth but it knows no separation
'Cause the truth is in you're spirit, kid, like in the spirit of the nation
We're the keepers of this dream through the pride and disgrace
Through the killing of the planet by industrial waste
We're religion fightin' religion, and there's race against race
But we'll keep our dream alive and growin' stronger every day

[Chorus]
But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend, my friend
Oh, no, you don't believe still on the eve of destruction

[Refrain]
Mm, yes they tell you over and over and over and over again, my friend
Oh, no, you don't believe we're still on the eve of destruction, uh, huh, uh, uh, uh

[Outro]
No, no, no, no, no, you don't believe, yeah

No, no, no, no, no, you don't believe
