VERSE

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'

CHORUS

But you tell

me over

and over and over again,

my friend. I don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

| G |

VERSE

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 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.

CHORUS

And you tell

me over

and over and over again,

my friend. I don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

| G | A |

VERSE

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

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

CHORUS

Tell

me over

and over and over again,

my friend I don't

believe we're on the eve of destruction

| G A |

VERSE

Think of all the hate

there is in

Red China Then take a look

around to Selma, Alabama Ah, 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 pride and disgrace

You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace

CHORUS

Hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace and you tell

me Over and over

and over and over again,

my friend You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

| G | D |

That's it.
