EVE OF DESTRUCTION
(Barry McGuire)
The DEastern world Git is exA7plodin', Dviolence flarin' andG bullets loadinA',
You're Dold enough to kill, but Gnot for Avotin',
You Ddon't believe in war, but's Gwhat's that gun you're totin'' A
And Deven the Jordan River hasG bodiesA floatin'
But you Dtell me, Gover and Aover and oDver again my frBmiend,
Ah, yoGu don't believe we'reA on the Eve of DeDstruction. G A
DDon't you understand what I'm Gtryin' toA say' D Can't you feel the fear that I'mG feelin' tAoday'
If the Dbutton is pushed there's noG running aAway,
There'll be Dno one to save with the Gworld in a Agrave.
Take a Dlook around you boy, it's Gbound to scare you Aboy,
But you Dtell me, Gover and Aover and oDver again my frBmiend,
Ah, yoGu don't believe we'reA on the Eve of DeDstruction. G A
My Dblood's so mad feels Glike coaguA7latin', DI'm sittin' here Gjust contemAplatin'
You Dcan't twist the truth it Gknows no reguAlation, and a Dhandful of Senators don't Gpass legisAlation.
DMarches alone can't Gbring inteDgration, when Dhuman respect is GdisinteDgratin'.
DThis whole crazy world is Gjust too frusAtratin'.
But you Dtell me, Gover and Aover and oDver again my frBmiend,
Ah, yoGu don't believe we'reA on the Eve of DeDstruction. G A
DThink of all the hate there Gis in Red A7China, then Dtake a look around to GSelma, AlaAbama!
DYou may leave here for Gfour days in Aspace, But Dwhen you return, it's the Gsame old Aplace.
The Dpounding drums, the Gpride and disAgrace, you can Dbury your dead, but don't Gleave a Atrace,
DHate your next door neighbor, but Gdon't forget to Asay grace.
But you Dtell me, Gover and Aover and oDver again my frBmiend,
Ah, yoGu don't believe we'reA on the Eve of DeDstruction. G A
