Album: Summer of Love: The Ultimate Collection
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say,An' can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away,There'll be no one to save, will the world in a grave.Take A Look Around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy.An' you tell me, over and over and over again, my friend,Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
Yeak, 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,An' marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin',This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'.An' 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.Ah, you may leave here for four days in space,But when you return it's the same ol' place,The poundin' of the drums, the pride an' disgrace.You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace.Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace,An' tell me, 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.
