EVE OF DESTRUCTION


The (E)Eastern world, (G)it is ex(A)ploding, (D)violence flaring,
(G)Bullets (A)loading,
You're (D)old enough to kill, (G)but not for (A)voting,
You (D)don't believe in war, but (G)what's that gun you're (A)toting
And (D)even the Jordan River has (G)bodies (A)floating,
But you

Chorus:
(D)Tell me (G)over and (A)over and (D)over again, my (G)friend,
(G)You don't believe we're (A)on the eve of de(D)struction?

(D)Think of all the hate there (G)is in Red (A)China,
Then (D)take a look around at (G)Southern Cali(G)fornia,
(D)You may leave her for (G)four days in (A)space,
But (D)when you return, it's the (G)same old (A)place,
The (D)pounding of the drums, the (G)pride and dis(A)grace,
You can (D)bury your dead, but (G)don't leave a (A)trace,
Hate your (D)next door neighbour, but (G)don't forget to (A)say grace

[Repeat Chorus]

That's (D)right, my friend, this (G)world is gonna (A)end,
With(D)out Jesus Christ, it's (G)crumbling from with(A)in,
There's (D)nothing you can do to (G)ever rear(A)range it,
No (D)matter what you think, that (G)ain't gonna (A)change it,
I (D)think it's time you (G)came to reali(A)zation,
That you're (D)gonna be around for the (G)judgment of this (A)nation,
Don't (D)care if you believe in the (G)pre-tribu(A)lation

[Repeat Chorus]

(D)So you better pray, and ask (G)Jesus to come (A)in,
(D)It's only His blood that can (G)cleanse you from your (A)sin,
(D)Then my brother, you'd (G)better work for (A)Him,
Your (D)only reason here is for (G)other souls to (A)win

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
