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
Mmm Mmm Mmm
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT I'M
TRYIN' TO SAY
AND CAN'T YOU FEEL
THE FEARS 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 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
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm
YEAH
MY BLOOD'S SO MAD
FEELS LIKE COAGULATIN'
I'M SITTING HERE
JUST CONTEMPLATIN'
I CAN'T TWIST THE TRUTH
IT KNOWS
NO REGULATION
HANDFUL OF SENATORS
DON'T PASS LEGISLATION
AND MARCHES ALONE
CAN'T 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 DON'T BELIEVE
WE'RE ON THE EVE OF
DESTRUCTION
Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm
AND 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 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
NEIGHBOR
AH 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
Mmm NO NO
YOU DON'T BELIEVE
WE'RE ON THE EVE OF
DESTRUCTION
