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