Generate meaning
1
The eastern world;
2
It is explodin'.
3
Violence flarin';
4
Bullets loadin'.
5
You're old enough to kill,
6
But not for votin'.
7
You don't believe in war,
8
But what's that gun you're totin'?
9
And even the Jordan River
10
Has bodies floatin',
11
But ya tell me
12
Over and over and over again, my friend,
13
Ah, you don't believe
14
We're on the eve of destruction
15
And don't you understand
16
What I'm tryin' to say
17
And can't you feel the fears
18
That I'm feelin' today?
19
If the button is pushed,
20
There's no runnin' away.
21
There'll be no one to save
22
With the world in a grave.
23
Take a look around you, boy.
24
It's bound to scare you, boy
25
And ya tell me
26
Over and over and over again, my friend,
27
Ah, you don't believe
28
We're on the eve of destruction
29
But think of all the hate
30
There is in red China.
31
Then take a look around
32
To Selma, Alabama.
33
You may leave here
34
For four days in space,
35
But when you return
36
It's the same old place.
37
The poundin' of the drums,
38
The pride and disgrace.
39
You can bury your dead,
40
But don't leave a trace.
41
Hate your next door neighbor,
42
But don't forget to say grace
43
And tell me
44
Over and over and over and over again, my friend,
45
You don't believe
46
We're on the eve of destruction.
47
Ah, no, no, you don't believe
48
We're on the eve of destruction.
