the pogues - eve of destruction - outtake from the hells ditch album sessions lyrics

the eastern world, it is exploding
violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
you’re old enough to k!ll, 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’
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 tryin’ to say
can’t you feel the fears i’m feelin’ today?
if the b-tton is pushed, there’s no runnin’ 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]
and 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 coagulatin’
i’m sitting here just contemplatin’
i can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation
handful of senators don’t p-ss 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 4 days in sp-ce
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… tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
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
