[Verse 1]
The
Eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're
old enough to kill, but not for votin'
You
don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'?
And
even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
[Chorus]
But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
Ah,
you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
[Verse 2]
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say?
And can't you feel the fears 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
[Chorus]
And
you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
[Verse
3]
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin'
I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'
I
can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
Handful
of senators don't pass legislation
And
marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin'
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'
[Chorus]
And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
[Verse 4]
Think
of all the hate there is in Red China
Then
take a look around to Selma, Alabama
Ah,
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 your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate
your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace
[Chorus]
And tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
