[Eb]
In the Eastern world, there's exploding, violence is flaring and the bullets are loading.
You're old enough to kill, but not for voting.
You don't believe in war, watch the guns exploding.
And even the Jordan River has bodies [Bb]
[Eb] floating in it.
Tell [Ab] me over [Bb] and [Eb] over and over again, my [Cm] friend.
Oh, [Ab] you don't believe [Bb] in rock and [Eb] revolt destruction.
[Ab] [Bbm] [Gm]
[Eb] Don't you understand what I'm trying to say?
You're dodged, I feel the [Ab] fears I'm feeling [Eb] today.
If the button isn't pushed, [Ab] there's no running [Eb] away.
And there'll be no one to save with the [Ab] world [Bb] in a grave.
[Eb] Take a look around you, boy.
[Ab] It's bound [Bb] to stay up, [Eb] boy.
[Ab] Tell me over [Bb] and over [Eb] and over again, [Cm] my friend.
[Ab] Oh, don't believe [Bb] what I believe [Eb] about destruction.
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb] Well, if I was so mad, it'd be like coagulating.
So I'm standing here [Ab] just [Bb] contemplating.
[Eb] You can't twist the truth.
It knows no [Bb] regulation.
[Eb] A head for the Senate, there's [Ab] no past [Bb] legislation.
[Eb] And marches alone won't bring [Bb] innovation.
[Eb] When human respect [Ab] is [Bb] disintegrating,
[Eb] this whole fucking world [Ab] is just so [Bb] [Eb] frustrating.
And now, tell [Ab] me over [Bb] and over [Eb] and over again, my [Cm] friend.
[Ab]
Oh, you don't believe [Bb] what I believe [Eb] about destruction.
[Ab] [Bb]
[Fm]
[Abm] [Ab]
[Bb]
[Eb] I can feel all the hate there is in red China.
And take a look around in [Ab] your own [Bb] backyard.
[Eb]
You may leave here [Ab] for four days [Bb] in space.
[Eb] And when you return, it's [Ab] the same old [Bb] [Eb] place.
The pounding of the drums, [Ab] the [Bb] frightened disgrace.
[Eb] You can bury the [Ab] dead, but don't leave [Bb] a trace.
[Eb] Hit the next door, but [Ab] don't [Bb] forget to say your [Eb] place.
Tell me [Ab] over [Bb] and [Eb] over and over [Gm] again, my friend.
[Ab] Oh, you don't believe [Bb] what I believe [Eb] about destruction.
Oh, I know [Ab] you don't believe [Bb] what I believe [Eb] about destruction.
