Eve Of Destruction
(专辑: Indian Reservation - 1971)
The
eastern world it this exploding, violence flaring, bullets loading, you're old enough to kill but not for voting, you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're toting, and even the
Jordan river has bodies floating, 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
button is pushed, there's no running away, There'll be noone 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 coagulating, I'm sitting here, just contemplating, I
can't twist the
truth, it knows no regulation, handful of Senators don't pass legislation, and marches alone can't bring integration, when human respect is disintegrating, this whole crazy world is just too frustrating, 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 space, but when your return, it's the
same old place, the
pounding of the
drums, 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 and over again my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the
eve of destruction.
