Eve of Destruction

The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flaring, 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
And even the Jordan River has bodies floating




But cha tell me
Over and over and over again, messiah
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 running away
There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy



Yet cha tell me
Over and over and over again, messiah
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
Of destruction.



Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulating
I’m sitting here just contemplating



I can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don’t pass legislation
And marches alone can’t bring integration





When human respect is disintegrating
This whole crazy world is just too frustrating






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 what they do to Sarah Palin






You may leave here for 4 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
And… tell me over and over and over and over again, messiah




You don’t believe
We’re on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve



Of destruction.


no apologies to Barry McGuire
dedicated to the United States Citizen Soldier for the malignant trash he sacrifices for which undoes all their work.
