Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say grace
We’re on the eve of
But you tell me
When human respect is disintegratin’
Was feeling blooded to human race
Over and over and over again, my friend
I’m sitting here just contemplatin’
Over and over and over again, my friend
There’ll be no one to save with the world in a grave
But tell me
If you win your war it's the same old place
You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace
You don’t believe
You don’t believe
We’re on the eve of destruction
You can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation
[Incomprehensible]
My blood’s so mad, it feels like coagulatin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
We’re on the eve of destruction
Over and over and over again, my friend
You don’t believe
Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
The poundin’ drums, the pride and disgrace
We’re on the eve of destruction
Can’t you feel the fears that I’m feelin’ today?
Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy
And marches alone can’t bring integration
You don’t believe
Over and over and over again, my friend
Now this whole crazy world is just too frustratin’
Yeah, you don’t believe
It will make stuff hard to under
And a handful of senators can’t pass legislation
We’re on the eve of destruction
But you tell me
People I hate, that's understood
Over and over and over again, my friend
And that Jordan River has bodies floatin’
We’re on the eve of destruction
You don’t believe
You don’t believe
You don’t believe
But tell me
If the button is pushed there’s no runnin’ away
But you tell me
We’re on the eve of destruction
