The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace
        RE                  SOL            LA
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
          RE
Hate your next door neighbor 
    SOL             LA
but don't forget to say grace

Eve Of Destruction è un brano interpretato e inciso da Barry McGuire, pubblicato come singolo in 45 giri nel 1965 e che il cantautore dell'Oklahoma realizza dopo aver abbandonato la sua band, i New Christy Minstrels, reduci dalla vittoria al Festival di Sanremo con Se piangi, se ridi in coppia con Bobby Solo. Si tratta di un pezzo folk di protesta, che denuncia l'imminente arrivo della guerra nucleare e della sua potenza distruttrice.
