Barry McGuire — Eve Of Destruction / Dont Blame God / II Chronicles 7:14

Eastern world, it is exploding Violence flarin', bullets loadin' You're old enough to kill 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 kill Your freedom is just a mockery Communist democracy Materialistic pleasure slaves Looking for another thrill And we got million dollar churches But nobody'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
