The Eastern world it is explodin', violence flarin' and bullets loadin',
DGA
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin',
DGA
You don't believe in war, but's what's that gun you're totin'?
DGA
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
[Chorus]
DGADBm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
GADGA
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
[Verse 2]
DGADGA
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say? Can't you feel the fear that I'm feelin' today?
DGA
If the button is pushed there's no running away,
DGA
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave.
DGA
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy,
[Chorus]
DGADBm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
GADGA
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
[Verse 3]
DGA7DGA
My blood's so mad feels like coagulatin', I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'
DGADGA
You can't twist the truth it knows no regulation, and a handful of Senators don't pass legislation.
DGADGA
Marches alone can't bring integration, when human respect is disintegratin'.
DGA
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'.
[Chorus]
DGADBm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
GADGA
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
[Verse 4]
DGA7DGA
Think of all the hate there is in Red China, then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
DGADGA
You may leave here for four days in space, But when you return, it's the same old place.
DGADGA
The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace, you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
DGA
Hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace.
[Chorus]
DGADBm
But you tell me, over and over and over and over again my friend,
GADGA
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
