Eve Of Destruction Lyrics - Singles - Screaming Jets

The eastern world 

It is explodin' 

Violence flaring, bullets loading 

You're old enough to kill 

But not for votin' 

You don't believe in war 

Then what's that gun you're totin' 

When even the Jordan River has bodies floating 

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 fear that I feel today 

If the button i's pushed there's no running 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 

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 

Feels like coagulating 

And I'm just sitting here 

Contemplating 

I can't change the truth 

It has no regulation 

A handful of senators 

Won't pass legislation 

And marchers alone 

Can't bring integration 

When human respect 

Is disintegrating 

This whole damn world 

Is too frustrating 

But you tell me 

Over and over and over again my friend 

You don't believe we're on 

The Eve of Destruction 

Think of all the hate 

There is in Red China 

Then take a look around 

To Selma, Alabama 

You might leave here 

For four days in space 

But when you return 

It's the same bloody place 

The beating of the drums 

And the pride and discgrace 

You can bury yout dead 

But don't hleave a trace 

And hate your next-door-neighbor 

But don't forget to say grace 

But you tell me 

Over and over and over again my friend 

You don't believe we're on 

The Eve of Destruction 

Yeah, you don't believe we're on 

The Eve of Destruction
