Eve Of Destruction Lyrics

Eve Of Destruction lyrics

The eastern world

It is explodin'.

Violence flarin'

Bullets
loadin'.

You're old enough to kill,

But not for votin'.

You
don't beleive in war,

But what's that gun you're totin'?

And even
the Jordan River

Has bodies floatin'.



But ya tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend,

Ah, you don't believe

We're on the eve of destruction



And don't you understand

What I'm tryin' to say

And 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
aroun you, boy.

It's bound to scare you, boy



And ya tell
me

Over and over and over again, my friend,

Ah, you don't
believe

We're on the eve of destruction



But think of all the
hate

There is in red China.

Then take a look around

To Selma,
Alabama.

You may leave here

For four days in space,

But when
you return

It's the same old place.

The poundin' of the drums,

The pride and disgrace.

You can bury it 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,

You don't believe

We're on the eve of destruction

Ah,
no, no, you don't believe

We're on the eve of destruction.
