D G A
1. The Eastern
world it is explodin',
D G A
violence flarin' and bullets loadin',
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
D G A D Bm
But you tell me,
over and over and over again my friend,
G A D - G - A

Destruction.
2. Don't you
understand what I'm tryin' to say?
D
G A
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feelin' today?
D G A
If the button is pushed there's no running
away,
D

There'll be no one to save with the world
in a grave.

3. My blood's so mad
feels like coagulatin',
D G A
I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'.
D G A
You can't twist the truth it knows no
regulation,

and a handful of Senators don't pass
legislation.
D G A
when human respect is disintegratin'.
D G A
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
D G A D Bm
but you
tell me, over and over and over
again my friend,

4. Think of all the
hate there is in Red China,
D G A
then take a look around to

space,
D G A
but when you return, it's the same old place.
D G A
The pounding 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,
D G A D Bm
but you
tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
G A D G
ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of
Destruction.
G A D G - D
ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of
Destruction.
