the turtles - eve of destruction (stereo) lyrics

the eastern world it is explodin’
violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
you’re old enough to k!ll but not for votin’
you don’t believe in war, 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 trying to say?
can’t you see the fear that i’m feeling today?
if the b-tton 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 coagulatin’
i’m sittin’ 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!
ah, you may leave here, for four days in sp-ce
but when your 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
ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction
