Eve of Destruction (Mono) - Remastered

Lyrics

The eastern world it is explodin'
 Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
 You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
 You don't believe in war but what's that gun you're totin'
 And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
 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 tryin' to say?
 And can't you see the fears that I'm feelin' today?
 If the button 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
 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
 You may leave here for four days in space
 But when your return it's the same old place
 The poundin' of the 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 and over again, my friend
 You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
 Ah, no, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
