Well, the whole wide world, it is exploding
The violence a-flaring and the bullets a-loading
If there ever was a time, you better start voting
You don't believe in war, but what is that gun you're toting?
And even the Rio Grande has a-bodies a-floating
But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say?
Can't you feel the fears that I'm feeling today?
You send your kids to school, and you feel that they're safe
Then you get the call that the shooter went mad in the place
Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy
And then you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
Yeah, my blood's so mad, it feels like coagulating
I'm just sitting here a-just a-contemplating
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
And none of the senators can pass legislation
And marches alone can't stop all the hating
When human respect is disintegrating
This whole crazy world is just too frustrating
And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe that we're on the eve of destruction
The virus hit, many isolated and ill
The jobs disappearing, tryin' to pay the bills
A-hurricanes, floods, tornadoes are storming in
Politicians claim that there ain't no global warming
Winds are a-blowing and fires are blazing
Hills are scorched and no horses are a-grazing
If you cross the man his words are escaping
And ya tell me over and over and over again, my friend
Well, you don't believe that we're on the eve of destruction, whoa
And then ya tell me over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe that we're on the eve of destruction, whoa, yeah
And then ya tell me over and over and over again, my friend
That it's hard to believe that we're on the eve of destruction
We're on the eve of destruction
We're on the eve of destruction
We're on the eve of destruction
