Eve Of Destruction／BARRY McGUIRE 歌詞

歌：BARRY McGUIRE

作詞：P.F.Sloan/S.Barri　作曲：P.F.Sloan/S.Barri

The eastern world
It is exploding
Violence flaring
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?
And can't you feel the fears
I'm feeling today
If the button is pushed
There's no running away
They'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

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah,you don't believe
We're on the Eve of Destruction

Yeah, my blood's so mad
Feels like coagulating
I'm sitting here
Just contemplating
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 disintegrating
This whole crazy world
Is just too frustrating

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah,you don't believe
We're on the Eve of Destruction

Think of all the hate
There is in Red China
Then take a look around
To Selma, Alabama
Oh, you may leave here
For four days in space
But when you return
It's the same old place
The pounding of the drums
The pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead
But don't leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor
But don't forget to say grace

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah,you don't believe
We're on the Eve of Destruction

No, no you don't believe
