Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire
[Verse 1]
D G A7 D G A
The Eastern world it is explodin', violence flarin' and bullets loadin',
D G A
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin',
D G A
You don't believe in war, but's what's that gun you're totin'?
D G A
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
[Chorus]
D G A D Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
G A D G A
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
[Verse 2]
D G A D G A
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say? Can't you feel the fear that I'm feelin' today?
D G A
If the button is pushed there's no running away,
D G A
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave.
D G A
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy,
[Chorus]
D G A D Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
G A D G A
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
[Verse 3]
D G A7 D G A
My blood's so mad feels like coagulatin', I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'
D G A D G A
You can't twist the truth it knows no regulation, and a handful of Senators don't pass legislation.
D G A D G A
Marches alone can't bring integration, when human respect is disintegratin'.
D G A
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'.
[Chorus]
D G A D Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
G A D G A
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
[Verse 4]
D G A7 D G A
Think of all the hate there is in Red China, then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
D G A D G A
You may leave here for four days in space, But when you return, it's the same old place.
D G A D G A
The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace, you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
D G A
Hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace.
[Chorus]
D G A D Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over and over again my friend,
G A D G A
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
