_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
The _ _ _ _ Eastern world, [G] _ it is [A] exploding, [D] _
violence flaring, [G] bullets [A] loading.
[D] You're old enough to kill, [G] but [A] not for voting.
[D] You don't believe in war, [G] but what's [A] that gun you're toting?
[G] [D] And even the Jordan River [G] has bodies [A] floating.
[D] But you tell [G] me over [A] and over [D] and over again, [Bm] my _ _ [G] boy,
you don't believe [A] we're only evil [D]
destruction.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D]
Don't you understand [G] what I'm [A] trying to say?
[D]
Can't you feel the fears [G] I'm [A] feeling today?
[D] If the button is pushed, [G] there's no running [A] away.
[D] There'll be no one to save.
[G] We're the world [A] in a grave.
[D] Take a look around you, boy.
[G] It's bound to [A] scare you, boy.
[D] And you tell [G] me [A] over and over [D] and over again, [Bm] my friend, _ _ _
[G] you don't believe [A] we're only evil [D]
destruction.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah, my blood's so mad, [G] feels like [A] coagulating.
[D]
I'm sitting here [G] just _ [A] contemplating.
[D]
I can't twist the truth, [G] it knows [A] no regulation.
[D] _
Handful of senators [G] don't pass [A] legislation.
[D]
And marches alone [G] can't bring [A] integration.
[D]
When human respect [G] is _ [A] disintegrating,
[D]
this whole crazy world [G] is just too [A] frustrating.
[D] And you tell [G] me [A] over and over [D] and over again, [Bm] my,
_ _ [G] you don't believe [A] we're only evil [D]
destruction.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ Think [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
of all the hate [G] there [A] is in red China.
[D] Then take a look around.
[G] To Selma, [A] Alabama.
[D] You may leave here [G] for four days [A] in space.
[D] But when you return, [G] it's the same [A] old place.
[D] The pounding of the drums, [G] the pride and [A] disgrace.
[D] You can bury your dead, [G] but don't leave [A] a trace.
[D] Ain't your next stop, _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [D] man.
Tell [G] me over [A] and over [D] and over and over [Bm] again, my,
[G] you don't believe [A] we're only evil [D]
destruction.
_ _ _ No, no, [G] you don't believe [A] we're only evil [D] destruction.
