The Pretty Things - Eve Of Destruction lyrics

Eastern world it is exploding The violence flarin', bullets reloadin' You're old enough to k** but not for votin' You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're toting And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin' And you tell me Over and over and over again my friend You don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say And can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today If the bu*ton 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 When the human respect is disintegrating And the whole crazy world is just too frustrating And you tell me Over and over and over again my friend You don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Ah you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Oh no! Think of all the hate there is in Red China Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama Oh you might leave here for four days in space But when you return it's the same old place The pounding of the drum, the pride and disgrace You can bury your dead but don't leave a trace Hate your next-door neighbour but don't forget to say grace And you tell me Over and over and over again my friend You don't believe We're on the eve of destruction And you can tell me Over and over and over again my friend You don't believe We're on the eve of destruction You say you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction You don't believe We're on the eve of destruction
