Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire with lyrics

I do not own this song, all rights go to Barry McGuire and his recording studio. I decided to make this off of my own computer, which doesn't have the same program I used to make the other one. I really like this song, so I put some pictures to go witht he lyrics. The lyrics are below, if there are any mistakes, please let me know. Enjoy.




The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flarin, bullets loadin
Youre old enough to kill, but not for votin
You dont believe in war, but whats that gun youre totin
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin

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

Dont you understand what Im tryin to say
Cant you feel the fears 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]

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you dont believe
Were on the eve
of destruction.

Yeah, my bloods so mad feels like coagulatin
Im sitting here just contemplatin
I cant twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators dont pass legislation
And marches alone cant bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you dont believe
Were on the eve
of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for 4 days in space
But when you return, its the same old place
The poundin of the 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
And tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You dont believe
Were on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you dont believe
Were on the eve
of destruction.

Why do you title it "...with lyrics." when there are not displayed? My only gripe.

[Shikamaru77777777]

@captainamerica1a The lyrics are in the description but I understand your point. The video itself doesn't have the lyrics. But some people want to read the words while the song plays and the pictures really aren't that important haha.

[sargantfrosty]

Is the last line in the last verse "Eat your neighbor, but don't forget to say grace" or "Hate your neighbor, but don't forget to say grace". Doesn't matter, either one means the same thing, but still just curious.

[Shikamaru77777777]

@sargantfrosty It's hate your neighbor.

[jasom38]

@Shikamaru77777777 i thought it was " ate your neighbor but dont forget to say grace" cuz saying grace is something before you eat asn't it?

[Shikamaru77777777]

@jasom38 When I looked up the lyrics, "hate" is what I found. Although that would make sense, it's just pointing out how ridiculous it is to be so hateful but pretend to be a religious person.

xletizia1127. your an idiot. this song is not honouring our soldiers. the song is a protest against the war, not supporting it..Dumbass

46 years? Took the Romans about 300 years to fall apart. You think its gonna happen over the course of a Sunday afternoon or something?

“AMERICA”… buys Over ‘4-Trillion Dollars’… each year of… “ILLEGAL DRUGS” [including Marijuana] …!

American Mothers… have Murdered Over 55,000,000 Million Innocent Babies… in their Wombs…!

And… “YOU”… believe a “New President”… will Solve All Our Problems…? “…Absolutely…NOT!...”

REPENT AMERICA… REPENT…!

I use to love this song as a kid but the lyrics is what really made me love it.

[fubar50cat]

hi, remember this song, thanks, shik, and for those that cannot understand how he does it, click on the show more button for the lyrics. Yeh Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler wrote it as an anti-war song, mainly because he was tired of the government bull. No idea whether he actually fought in Nam, but many say he did. After this song came out, a rebuttal was done in the form of the song "Dawn of Correction",.forget who did it

[archangel7673]

I read some of these posts and wonder to myself,and now share with you all,because I can resist everything ,But temptation! Why don't all you people with nothing good to say about anything Just go shoot yourselves in the face,and rid us from your ignorance! The lyrics are there go fucking read them! The song was a protest to all war! But just like American Idol,and all the other so called reality shows...It is purely for entertainment!

Nothing has changed - it´s much worst now!
