Feel it coming I feel it coming Is it too late? This whole darn 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 That you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Don't you understand what I'm trying to say And can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today? If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away There's 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 How you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin' I'm sittin' here just contemplatin' I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation And 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 How you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction We're on the eve of destruction I think of all the homeless in the streets With barely a dollar or food to eat 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 fright and disgrace Your next door neighbor, hate 'em hate 'em, but don't forget to say grace Tell me Over and over and over again, my friend You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction Oh you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction ...
