Eve Of Destruction Lyrics

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'

But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

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 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, and you

Tell me over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin'

I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin'

I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulationThe Turtles - Eve Of Destruction - http://motolyrics.com/the-turtles/eve-of-destruction-lyrics.html

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'

And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, 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!

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

And tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend

You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Mmmm, no, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
