[C] The Eastern world it [F] is exp[G7]lodin'

[C] Violence flarin' and [F] bullets [G7] loadin'

You're [C] old enough to kill [F] but not for [G7] votin'

You [C] don't believe in war but [F] what's that gun you're [G7] totin'

And [C] even the Jordan River has [F] bodies [G7] floatin'

Chorus:

But you [C] tell me [F] over and [G7] over and [C] over again my [Am] friend

You [F] don't believe we're [G7] on the Eve of De[C]struction

[C] Don't you understand what I'm [F] tryin' to [G7] say

[C] Can't you feel the fear that I'm [F] feelin' to[G7]day

If the [C] button is pushed there's no [F] running a[G7]way

There'll be [C] no one to save with the [F] world in a [G7] grave

Take a [C] look around you boy it's [F] bound to scare you [G7] boy

Chorus

[C] My blood's so mad feels like [F] coagu[G7]latin'

[C] I'm sittin' here just [F] contem[G7]platin'

You [C] can't twist the truth it knows [F] no regu[G7]lation

And a [C] handful of Senators don't [F] pass legis[G7]lation

[C] Marches alone can't [F] bring inte[G7]gration

When [C] human respect is [F] disinte[G7]gratin'

This [C] whole crazy world is [F] just too frust[G7]ratin'

Chorus

[C] Think of all the hate there [F] is in Red [G7] China

Then [C] take a look around to [F] Selma Ala[G7]bama

You may [C] leave here for [F] four days in [G7]space

But [C] when you return it's the [F] same old [G7] place

The [C] pounding drums the [F] pride and dis[G7]grace

You can [C] bury your dead but [F] don't leave a [G7] trace

[C] Hate your next door neighbour but don't [F] forget to say [G7]grace

But you [C] tell me [F] over and [G7] over And [C] over again my [Am] friend

You [F] don't believe we're [G7] on the Eve of De[C]struction

But you [C] tell me [F] over and [G7] over

And [C] over and over a[Am]gain my friend

You [F] don't believe we're [G7] on the Eve of De[C]struction
