Standard (EADGBE)
the eastern world it is exploding
Violence flaring bullets flowing
your old enough to kill but not for voting
even the Jordan River has body's floating but ya
tell me over and over and over again my friend
you don't believe were on the eve of destruction
Don't ya understand what I'm trying to say
And can't you feel the fears that I'm feeling today
If the button is pushed there's no running away
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around ya boy it's bound to scare you boy and ya
tell me over and over and over again my friend
you don't believe were on the eve of destruction
If you think of all the hate that is in red china
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You live here but more days in space
But when you return it's the same old place
The pounding of the drum the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead but don't leave a trace
Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace and
tell me over and over and over and over again my friend
you don't believe were on the eve of destruction oh no no no no
you don't believe were on the eve of destruction
There it is a great byrds song for you all to enjoy
