Eve Of Destruction:Barry McGuire.
#1 in '65. Probably the best protest song
of the '60's.
#1.
D G A
The eastern world, it is explodin',
D G A
Violence flares and bullets loading.
D G A
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin',
D G A
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'?
D G A
And even the Jordan River has bodies floating...
CHORUS:
A D G A D Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again, my friend,
G A D
aaah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
#2.
D G A
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say?
D G A
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling today?
D G A
If the button is pushed there's no running away.
D G A
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave.
D G A
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy...
CHORUS:
#3.
D G A
My blood's so mad, feels like coagulating.
D G A
And I'm sitting here, just contemplating.
D G A
I can't change the truth, it has no regulation.
D G A
A handful of senators can't pass legislation.
D G A
And marches alone can't bring integration,
D G A
when human respect is disintegrating.
D G A
This whole damn world is just too frustrating...
CHORUS:
#4.
D G A
Think of all the hate there is in Red China.
D G A
Then take a look around at Selma, Alabama.
D G A
You may leave here for four days in space,
D G A
But when you return it's the same damned place.
D G A
The pounding of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
D G A
you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
D G A
hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace...
CHORUS:
ADD:
D G A D
Yeah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
D G A D
No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
