Violence flares and 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'. And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
That you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. Now 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'll be no runnin' away
There's no one to save when the world's 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 . . . Yeah my blood's so mad feels like coagulatin'
I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'. But I can't twist the truth it knows no regulations A 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 . . . When I think of all the people way out there in China
Then I take a look around me at Selma Alabama. Now you may leave here for four days in space But when you retrun it's the same old place. It's 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 donY fol'get to say grace. And you tell me over and over and over again my friend . . . Geff Harrison Lyrics Eve Of Destruction Lyrics
