EVE OF DESTRUCTION

D add4 add2 D add4 add2 (x2)
D add4 add2 G A
The Eastern world... it is explodin'
Violence flarin' and bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but's what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'

D G A
But you tell me, over and over
D Bm
And over again my friend
G
Ah, you don't believe
A D Thing G A7 D Thing
We're on the Eve of Destruction

Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say?
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feelin' today?
If the button 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

My blood's so mad - feels like coagulatin'
I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'
You can't twist the truth - it knows no regulation
A handful of Senators don't pass legislation
And marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin'
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'

But ya 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 four days in space
But when you return, it's the same old place
The pounding 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 again my friend
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the Eve of Destruction

No, you don't believe
We're on the Eve of Destruction
