THE EASTERN WORLD,
IT IS EXPLODIN'.
VIOLENCE IS FLARIN',
AND THE BULLETS
ARE LOADIN'
YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH
TO KILL, BUT NOT
FOR VOTIN'
YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN
WAR, WHAT'S THAT
GUN YOU'RE TOTIN'
AND EVEN THE JORDAN
RIVER HAS
BODIES FLOATIN'
AND YOU TELL ME
OVER AND OVER AND
OVER AGAIN,
MY FRIEND
AH, YOU DON'T BELIEVE
WE'RE ON THE EVE
OF DESTRUCTION.
WELL DON'T YOU
UNDERSTAND WHAT I
AM TRYIN' TO SAY
CAN'T YOU FEEL THE
FEARS I'M
FEELIN' TODAY
IF THE BUTTON IS
PUSHED, THERE'S NO
RUNNIN' AWAY
AND THERE'LL BE NO
ONE TO SAVE, WITH
THE WORLD IN
A GRAVE
TAKE A LOOK AROUND
YA BOY, IT'S BOUND TO
SCARE YA 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.
WELL, MY BLOOD'S SO
MAD IT FEELS LIKE
COAGULATIN'
SO I'M STANDING HERE
JUST CONTEMPLATIN'
YOU CAN'T TWIST THE
TRUTH, IT KNOWS NO
REGULATION.
A HANDFUL OF
SENATORS DON'T PASS
LEGISLATION
AND MARCHES ALONE
WON'T BRING
INTEGRATION
WHEN HUMAN
RESPECT IS
DISINTEGRATIN'
THIS WHOLE CRAZY
WORLD IS JUST SO
FRUSTRATIN'
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 IN YOUR
OWN BACK YARD
YOU MAY LEAVE HERE
FOR FOUR DAYS
IN SPACE
AND WHEN YOU
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 NEIGHBOUR, BUT
DON'T FORGET TO SAY
"YOUR GRACE"
TELL ME OVER AND
OVER AND OVER AND
OVER AGAIN,
MY FRIEND
YOU DON'T BELIEVE
WE'RE ON THE EVE
OF DESTRUCTION
WHOA NO,
YOU DON'T BELIEVE
THAT WE'RE ON
THE EVE
OF DESTRUCTION.
