Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire
Song lyrics:
The Eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flaring, bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill - but not for voting
You don't believe in war, but speakin thats verbotten.
And even the land…

Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire
Song lyrics:
The Eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flaring, bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill - but not for voting
You don't believe in war, but speakin thats verbotten.
And even the land across the river - has bodies bloatin'
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say
Look at all fears people are 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
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
Handful of billionaires are manipulating
And what they call your rights are abominations
When human respect is disintegratin'
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'
CHORUS
And think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around at the people right beside ya
Ah, you may leave here for four days in space
But when you return, it's the same old place
The poundin' of the drums, so-called ‘pride’ is disgrace
You can bury your kids in filth, while your preaching grace
Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace
