[Verse 1] The Eastern world it is explodin Violence flarin and bullets loadin Youre old enough to kill but not for votin You dont believe in war, so whats that gun youre totin? Even the Jordan River has bodies floatin And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend That you dont believe were on the eve of destruction [Verse 2] Dont you understand, what Im tryin to say? Cant you feel the fears that Im feelin today? If the button is pushed, theres no runnin away Therell be no one to save with the world in a grave Take a look around you, boy, its bound to scare you, boy And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend That you dont believe were on the eve of destruction [Verse 3] Think of all the hate there is in Asia Then turn around, my friend, look into our nation You cant change the truth, it knows no regulation And a handful of senators dont pass legislation And marches alone wont bring integration Yet, you dont believe were on the eve of destruction [Verse 4] The whole human race is far out situation Were supposed to be brothers but theres still segregation You can go to the moon, spend two weeks in space But when your come home its the same old place The poundin of the drums, the pride and disgrace You can bury your dead, but dont leave a trace Hate your nextdoor neighbor, but dont forget to say grace And tell me over and over and over again my friend That you dont believe were on the eve of destruction [Outro] Over and over and over again, my friend That you dont believe were on the eve of destruction
