about
Written by P. F. Sloan
lyrics
The eastern world, it is exploding,
violence flarin', 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 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 trying to say?
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling 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 you boy, it's bound to scare you, boy.
but 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 coagulating
I'm sittin' here just contemplating
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
A handful 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 you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend
you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction,
no no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
