Eve of destruction (updated)

VERSE
Fierce fighting as they're invading Gaza
Preventative action, right? Escalating further
The promised land, it's not for sharing
Kill the oppressed, show you're caring
Protect your home by, killing your neighbours

CHORUS
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend
Ah, you don't believe, we're on the eve of destruction

VERSE
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say?
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed there's no running away
The world's insane man, look at the Ukraine
They're taking pot shots at passenger planes

CHORUS

VERSE
My blood's so mad feels like coagulation
I'm sitting here just contemplating
You can twist the truth it knows no regulation
A handful of senators can block legislation
And it's your freedom, that's eroding
Need some proof? Ask Edward Snowden

CHORUS

VERSE
You may leave here for a few months in space
But when you return it's the same old place
The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace
Don't fear the communists, now it's just terrorists
It would be terrifying if it wasn't so hilarious

CHORUS
