| Eve Of Destruction (P.F.Sloan)
* the eastern world, it is exploding violence flairing, bullets loading you're old enough to kill, but not for voting you don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're toting and even the jordan river has bodies floating 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 trying to say can't you feel the fears i'm feeling today if the button is pushed there's no running away there will be no-one to save, whirl 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... yeah my blood's so mad, feels like a coagulating i'm sitting here just contemplating i can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation hand full of senators don't pass legislation and marches alone can't bring integration when human respect is desintegrating this whole crazy world is just too frustrating and you tell me over and over... and think of all the hate there is in red china then take a look around to selma, alabama you may leave here for four days in space but when you return it's the same old place they pounding of the drums the pride and disgrace you can burry 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... no, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
