Eve of Destruction
Barry McGuire

Intro

Verse 1
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’

Chorus
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don’t believe
We’re on the eve of destruction

Verse 2
Don’t you understand what I’m trying to say
Can’t you feel the fears I’m feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
There’ll be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy, it’s bound to scare you, boy

Chorus
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don’t believe
We’re on the eve of destruction
