๐ Lyrics
The eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flarin' and bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
And you don't believe in war, buss that gun you're toting
And that Jordan River has bodies floatin'
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
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 ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
My blood's so mad, it feels like coagulatin'
I'm sitting here just contemplatin'
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
And a handful of senators can't pass legislation
And marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin'
This whole crazy world is too frustratin'
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
People I hate, that is behind us
It will change to something Alabama
Are you right through here
For some days in space
If you win your war, it's the same old place
The poundin' 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 you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Violence flarin' and bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
And you don't believe in war, buss that gun you're toting
And that Jordan River has bodies floatin'
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
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 ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
My blood's so mad, it feels like coagulatin'
I'm sitting here just contemplatin'
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
And a handful of senators can't pass legislation
And marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin'
This whole crazy world is too frustratin'
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
People I hate, that is behind us
It will change to something Alabama
Are you right through here
For some days in space
If you win your war, it's the same old place
The poundin' 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 you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
