It is implodin'

Fascists grinnin'

Elections stolen

You're old enough to win

But not for gloatin'

You don't believe in war

But what's that lie you're totin'

And even the Tigris 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 those Neocons say

And can't you see the Bill of Rights slippin away

If democracy dies, and they have their way

We'll all be shipped off to Guantanamo Bay

Take a look around you now

It's bound to scare you now.

And 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 heart's so sad

It feels like it's breakin'

I'm sitting here, my soul is achin'

They can twist the truth

It's called capitulation,

An uncaring Congress won't pay your medication

But if you're in a coma, they'll pass legislation

While tolerance for others 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.

And think of all the blood spilled in Fallujah

Then listen to the president sing 'Hallelujah'

Ah, you may leave here for one year on Mars

But when you return, there's the same old scars.

The wavin' of the flag

Love and leave it in place

You can bury your head, or rent out the space

Hate your Arab neighbors, but don't forget to save face

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

You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

No, No, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
