Public Enemy: Eve Of Destruction

The eastern world, it is explodin
Violence flarin and bullets loadin
Youre old enough to kill, but not for votin
And that Jordan River has bodies floatin

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You dont believe
Were on the eve of destruction

Dont you understand what Im tryin to say
Cant you feel the fears that Im feelin today?
If the button is pushed theres no runnin away
Therell be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You dont believe
Were on the eve of destruction

My bloods so mad, it feels like coagulatin
Im sitting here just contemplatin
You cant twist the truth, it knows no regulation
And a handful of senators cant pass legislation
And marches alone cant bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin
Now this whole crazy world is just too frustratin

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You dont believe
Were on the eve of destruction
[Incomprehensible]

People I hate, that's understood
It will make stuff hard to under
Was feeling blooded to human race
If you win your war it's the same old place

The poundin drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but dont leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but dont forget to say grace

But tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You dont believe
Were on the eve of

But tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
You dont believe
Were on the eve of destruction

You dont believe
Were on the eve of destruction
You dont believe
Were on the eve of destruction
Yeah, you dont believe
Were on the eve of destruction
