Generate meaning
1
The eastern world, it is explodin'.
2
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
3
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
4
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'
5
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
6
But you tell me
7
Over and over and over again, my friend
8
Ah, you don't believe
9
We're on the eve
10
of destruction.
11
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
12
Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?
13
If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away
14
There'll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
15
Take a look around you boy
16
It's bound to scare you boy
17
And you tell me
18
Over and over and over again, my friend
19
Ah, you don't believe
20
We're on the eve
21
of destruction.
22
Yeah, my blood's so mad feels like coagulatin'
23
I'm sitting here just contemplatin'
24
You can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
25
Handful of senators don't pass legislation
26
And marches alone can't bring integration
27
When human respect is disintegratin'
28
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'
29
And you tell me
30
Over and over and over again, my friend
31
Ah, you don't believe
32
We're on the eve
33
of destruction.
34
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
35
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
36
You may leave here for 4 days in space
37
But when you return, it's the same old place
38
The poundin' of the drum, the pride and disgrace
39
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
40
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say prayers
41
And tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
42
You don't believe
43
We're on the eve
44
Of destruction
45
Mm, no no, you don't believe
46
We're on the eve of destruction.
