Eve of Destruction — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

The eastern world it is explodin`,
Violence flarin`, bullets loadin`,
You`re old enough to kill but not for votin`,
You don`t believe in war, what`s that gun you`re totin`,
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin`,
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, 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?
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 you, boy, it`s bound to scare you, boy,
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction.

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`,
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction.

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 your 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,
And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
you don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction.
you don`t believe we`re on the eve of destruction.
