The Dickies — Eve Of Destruction lyrics

Lyrics

The eastern world, it is explodin
Violence flarin bullets loadin YouЉ®e old enough to kill, but not for votin You
donЉ° believe in war, but whatЉЇ that gun youЉ®e totin And even the Jordan River
has bodies floatin
But you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you donЉ° believe
WeЉ®e on the eve
of destruction.
DonЉ° you understand what IЉ¦ tryin to say
CanЉ° you feel the fears IЉ¦ feelin today?
If the button is pushed, thereЉЇ no runnin away
ThereЉЈl be no one to save, with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
ItЉЇ bound to scare you boy
And you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you donЉ° believe
WeЉ®e on the eve
of destruction.
Yeah, my bloodЉЇ so mad feels like coagulatin IЉ¦ sitting here just contemplatin
You canЉ° twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators donЉ° pass legislation
And marches alone canЉ° bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin This whole crazy world is just too
frustratin
And you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you donЉ° believe
WeЉ®e 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 4 days in space
But when you return, itЉЇ the same old place
The poundin of the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but donЉ° leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but donЉ° forget to say grace
And tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You donЉ° believe
WeЉ®e on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you donЉ° believe
WeЉ®e on the eve
of destruction.
