Eve of destruction


the eastern world it is exploding
violence flaring and bullets loading
you're old enough to kill but not for voting
you don't believe in war but what's that gun you're toting
and even jordan river has bodies floating

but you tell me
over and over and over again my friend
ah you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

my blood's is so mad it feels like coagulating
i'm sitting here just contemplating
i can't twist the truth it knows no regulation
and a handful of senators don't pass legislation
busing alone can't bring segregation
when human respect is disintegrating
the whole fucking world is just too frustrating

but you tell me
over and over and over again my friend
ah you don't believe
we're on the eve of destruction

well look at all the hate there is in alhambra
then look around to selma alabama
you may leave here for four days in space
but when you come back it's the same old place
the pounding of the drums 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

but you tell me
over and over and over again my friend
ah you don't believe
we're on the eve of destruction

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics EVE OF DESTRUCTION of THE DICKIES is also present in the album Incredible shrinking dickies (1979)

Biografia

The Dickies are an American punk rock group formed in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California, in 1977. Considered one of the pioneering bands of the Californian punk movement, they gained popularity in the 1980s with their musical style characterized by a strong comedic and satirical component. Their sound is influenced by classic rock'n'roll, surf rock, and garage rock, but with a touch of irony and parody that sets them apart from other punk bands of the time. Among their most famous songs are "Banana Splits", "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" and "Suburban Home". The Dickies have collaborated with artists like The Ramones and Social Distortion, contributing to defining the aesthetics and culture of punk rock in the 1980s.
