The eastern world it tis 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 see the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be noone to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
but 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!
Tehn take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when your eturn, it's the same old place,
the poundin' of the drums, th 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,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
Barry McGuire (nato il 15 ottobre 1935) è un cantautore statunitense noto per il successo "Eve of Destruction", e in seguito come cantante e autore di canzoni di musica cristiana contemporanea. Nato a Los Angeles, California, McGuire iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '60 con un sound folk-rock influenzato dal movimento pacifista dell'epoca. Il suo brano più famoso, "Eve of Destruction", pubblicato nel 1965, divenne un inno contro la guerra del Vietnam e raggiunse il primo posto nelle classifiche americane. Dopo il successo di "Eve of Destruction", McGuire continuò a pubblicare album con vari generi musicali, tra cui folk, rock e country. Negli anni '70 si convertì al cristianesimo e iniziò a dedicarsi alla musica cristiana contemporanea. Ha pubblicato numerosi album di successo in questo genere, collaborando con artisti come Amy Grant e Michael W. Smith. McGuire è considerato un artista versatile che ha attraversato diverse fasi musicali, lasciando un segno significativo sia nella musica popolare che nella musica cristiana.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
