The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flarin' and bullets loadin'
You're old enough to k**, 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'
And 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 tryin' to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?
If the bu*ton 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 now, it's bound to scare you now]
When 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 tryin' to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?
You may leave here for 4 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
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace
And, tell me
Over and over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve
Of destruction
Well, you don't believe
We're on the eve
Of destruction
Ah, you don't believe
Well, you don't believe
God, you don't believe
Well, you don't believe
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
No, Noooo
We're on the eve of destruction
Ooooh!
