Eve of destruction

The eastern world it is exploding
Violence flaring and bullets loading
You're old enough to kill but not for voting
You don't believe in war but what's that gun you're toting
Even the jordan river has bodies floating

But ya 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 trying to say
And can't you feel the fears that I'm feeling today
If the button is pushed there's no running away
There'll be nowone to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
It's bound to scare you boy

But ya 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
You may leave here for four days in space

But when you return it's the same old place
The pounding 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

But ya tell me over and over and over again my friend
Ah you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
