Lyrics
The Eastern world
(G)it is (A)explodin',
(D)violence flarin' (G)bullets (A)loadin'.
You're (D)old enough to kill, (G)but not for (A)votin'.
You (D)don't believe in war, but (G)what's that gun you're (A)totin'?
And (D)even the Jordan River has (G)bodies (A)floatin'!
But you (D)tell me (G)over and (A)over and (D)over again,
my friend, (Bm)ah, you (G)don't believe we're (A)on the eve of (D)destruction.
(D)Don't you understand what I'm (G)tryin' to (A)say?
(D)Can't you feel the fears that I'm (G)feelin' (A)today?
If the (D)button is pushed,
there's no (G)running (A)away.
There'll be (D)no one to save with the (G)world in a (A)grave.
Take a (D)look around you, boy.
It's (G)bound to scare you, (A)boy.
And you (D)tell me (G)over and (A)over and (D)over again,
my friend, (Bm)ah, you (G)don't believe we're (A)on the eve of (D)destruction.
(D)tell me (G)over and (A)over and (D)over again,
my friend, (Bm)ah, you (G)don't believe we're (A)on the eve of (D)destruction.
(D)tell me (G)over and (A)over and (D)over again,
my friend, (Bm)ah, you (G)don't believe we're (A)on the eve of (D)destruction.
(G)You don't believe we're (A)on the eve of (D)destruction.
