The eastern world, it is explodin

Violence flarin bullets loadinYou抮e old enough to kill, but not for votinYou 

don抰 believe in war, but what抯 that gun you抮e totinAnd even the Jordan River 

has bodies floatin

But you tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don抰 believe

We抮e on the eve

of destruction.



Don抰 you understand what I抦 tryinto say

Can抰 you feel the fears I抦 feelintoday?

If the button is pushed, there抯 no runninaway

There抣l be no one to save, with the world in a grave

Take a look around you boy

It抯 bound to scare you boy



And you tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don抰 believe

We抮e on the eve

of destruction.



Yeah, my blood抯 so mad feels like coagulatinI抦 sitting here just contemplatin

You can抰 twist  the truth, it knows no regulation.

Handful of senators don抰 pass legislation

And marches alone can抰 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抰 believe

We抮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抯 the same old place

The poundinof the drum, the pride and disgrace

You can bury your dead, but don抰 leave a trace

Hate your next-door neighbor, but don抰 forget to say grace

Andtell me over and over and over and over again, my friend

You don抰 believe

We抮e on the eve

Of destruction

Mm, no no, you don抰 believe

We抮e on the eve

of destruction.
