Eve Of Destruction by D.o.a
Eve Of Destruction lyrics
The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flaring and bullets loading
You're old enough to kill but not for voting
And 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 trying to say?
Can't you feel the fear that I'm a-feeling today?
If the button is 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, it feels like coagulating
I'm sitting here, just contemplating
You can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
And a handful of Senators can't pass legislation
And marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegrating
And this whole crazy world is just 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
People hate that�s on this Earth
It really make love hard to unearth
We�re spilling blood and the human race
If you win your war, it's the same old place
The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate your next-door-neighbour, don't forget to say grace
But you tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe we're on the eve of de�
You tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction [x4]
