	D	G	A7
	The eastern world	it is exp	lodin',

	D	G	A7
	violence flarin',	bullets	loadin',

	D	G	A7
you're	old enough to kill	but not for	votin',

	D	G	A7
you	don't believe in war,	what's that gun you're	totin',

	D	G	A7
and	even the Jordan river has	bodies	floatin',

Chorus

	D	G	A7	D	Bm
but you	tell me	over and	over and	over again my	friend,

	G	A7	D
ah, you	don't believe we're	on the eve of dest	ruction.

D11

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?

Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?

If the button is pushed, there's no running away,

There'll be noone to save with the world in a grave,

take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,

but you tell me...

Chorus

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',

I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',

I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,

handful of Senators don't pass legislation,

and marches alone can't bring integration,

when human respect is disintegratin',

this whole crazy world is just too frustratin',

and you tell me...

Chorus

Think of all the hate there is in Red China!

Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!

Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,

but when your eturn, it's the same old place,

the poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace,

you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,

hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,

and you tell me...

Chorus

G / D / A / D - D11 - D9 / D - D11 - D9
