Eve Of Destruction Lyrics - Punk Singles Collection - Dickies

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 

Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say 

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 you 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 

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 

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, 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, 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 

Mm, no no, you don't believe 

We're on the eve 

Of destruction
