Eve of Destruction - Casey Abrams, Cyndi Lauper

Well, the whole wide world, it is exploding

The violence a-flaring and the bullets a-loading

If there ever was a time, you better start voting

You don’t believe in war but what is that gun you’re toting?

And even the Rio Grande has a-bodies a-floating

But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend

How 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?

You send your kids to school and you feel that they’re safe

Then you get the call that the shooter went mad in the place

Take a look around you, boy, it’s bound to scare you, boy

And then you tell me over and over and over again, my friend

How you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction

Yeah, my blood’s so mad, it feels like coagulating

I’m just sitting here a-just a-contemplating

I can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation

And none of the senators can pass legislation

And marches alone can’t stop all the hating

When human respect is disintegrating

This whole crazy world is just too frustrating

And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend

How you don’t believe that we’re on the eve of destruction

The virus hit many isolated and ill

The jobs disappearing, tryna pay the bills

A-hurricanes, floods, tornadoes are storming in

Politicians claim that there ain’t no global warming

Winds are blowing and fires are blazing

Hills are scorched and no horses are a-grazing

If you cross the men his words are escaping

And ya tell me over and over and over again, my friend

Well, you don’t believe that we’re on the eve of destruction, whoa

And then ya tell me over and over and over again, my friend

How you don’t believe that we’re on the eve of destruction, whoa, yeah

And then ya tell me over and over and over again, my friend

That it’s hard to believe that we’re on the eve of destruction, whoa, yeah

We’re on the eve of destruction

We’re on the eve of destruction

We’re on the eve of destruction

We’re on the eve of destruction
