eve of destruction / don't blame god / ii chronicles 7:14 - barry mcguire lyrics

eastern world, it is exploding
violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
you’re old enough to k!ll
but not for votin’
you don’t believe in war, ah, tell me
what’s that gun you’re totin’?
and even the jordan river has bodies floatin’
and you tell me
over and over and over again, my friend
sayin’ you don’t believe
we’re on the eve of destruction

if you’re still alive
and you can hear this song
you know this world cannot survive
’cause something’s all gone wrong
you may not like hearing it
you may bе right in fearing it
but this land of ours is dying
and you know it won’t be long
until it’s gone

yеs, she’s building up a debt
that she can never pay
piling up the bodies
that she can’t hide away
her godless people failing her
like drunken seaman sailing her
head on upon a deadly reef
of greed and moral decay
so don’t blame god
for the sins of america
america has fallen
from the ways of the lord
don’t blame god
for the sins of america
living for the dollar
she’ll be dying by the sword

on every silver coin
and every dollar bill
i read the words, “in god we trust”
while out of fear we k!ll
your freedom is just a mockery
communist democracy
materialistic pleasure slaves
looking for another thrill

and we got million dollar churches
but n0body’s on their knees
well, there’s so many selfish people
just doing what they please
you know we’re sending people to the moon
we got a tv set in every room
well, just to watch a world that’s dying
from starvation and disease
so don’t blame god
for the sins of america
america has fallen
from the ways of the lord
now, don’t blame god
for the sins of america
living for the dollar
she’ll be dying by the sword
yeah, dying by the sword

but if my people
who are called by my name
will humble themselves and pray
seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways
then from heaven will i hear
forgive them of their sin
and heal their land
