Eve Of Destruction Lyrics

Artist: Dickies
Album: Incredible Shrinking Dickies

The eastern world, it is explodin
Violence flarin bullets loadinYouÅ e old enough to kill, but not for votinYou
donÅ believe in war, but whatÅ that gun youÅ e totinAnd even the Jordan River
has bodies floatin
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you donÅ believe
WeÅ e on the eve
of destruction.

DonÅ you understand what IÅ tryinto say
CanÅ you feel the fears IÅ feelintoday?
If the button is pushed, thereÅ no runninaway
ThereÅ l be no one to save, with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
ItÅ bound to scare you boy

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you donÅ believe
WeÅ e on the eve
of destruction.

Yeah, my bloodÅ so mad feels like coagulatinIÅ sitting here just contemplatin
You canÅ twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators donÅ pass legislation
And marches alone canÅ bring integration
When human respect is disintegratinThis whole crazy world is just too
frustratin
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you donÅ believe
WeÅ e 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, itÅ the same old place
The poundinof the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but donÅ leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but donÅ forget to say grace
Andtell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You donÅ believe
WeÅ e on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you donÅ believe
WeÅ e on the eve
of destruction.
