Griffe:

1.  Strophe:
G                         C       D
The eastern world it is explodin'
G                      C       D
Violence flarin', bullets loadin',
            G                       C              D
You're old enough to kill but not for votin',
        G                            C                        D
You don't believe in war, what's that gun is totin',
        G                             C              D
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',

Refrain:
      G        C            D           G                    Em
But tell me over and over and over again, my friend,
        C                          D                      G
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

2.  Strophe:
Don't you understand, what I'm tryin' to say?
Can't you see the fear that I'm feelin' today?
If the botton is pushed, there's no runnin' away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
Refrain:

3.  Strophe:
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
Handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
And marches alone can't bring integration,
When human respect is disintegratin',
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
Refrain:

4.  Strophe:
Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
But when you return, it's the same old place,
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
Hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,
Refrain:
