Karaoké Eve of Destruction Barry McGuire

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?

Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?

If the button is pushed there's no runnin' away

There'll be no one to save with a 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 regulation

Hand full 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

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 again my friend ah you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Now now you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
