The eastern world, it is explodin
Violence flarin bullets loadinYouжЉ®e old enough to kill, but not for votinYou
donжЉ° believe in war, but whatжЉЇ that gun youжЉ®e totinAnd even the Jordan River
has bodies floatin
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you donжЉ° believe
WeжЉ®e on the eve
of destruction.
DonжЉ° you understand what IжЉ¦ tryinto say
CanжЉ° you feel the fears IжЉ¦ feelintoday?
If the button is pushed, thereжЉЇ no runninaway
ThereжЉЈl be no one to save, with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
ItжЉЇ bound to scare you boy
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you donжЉ° believe
WeжЉ®e on the eve
of destruction.
Yeah, my bloodжЉЇ so mad feels like coagulatinIжЉ¦ sitting here just contemplatin
You canжЉ° twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators donжЉ° pass legislation
And marches alone canжЉ° bring integration
When human respect is disintegratinThis whole crazy world is just too
frustratin
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you donжЉ° believe
WeжЉ®e 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 4 days in space
But when you return, itжЉЇ the same old place
The poundinof the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but donжЉ° leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but donжЉ° forget to say grace
Andtell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You donжЉ° believe
WeжЉ®e on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you donжЉ° believe
WeжЉ®e on the eve
of destruction.
