Where have all the flowers gone?
That bloomed when they sang their song
What happened to the wind set to change the tide?
The wind of change that blew far and wide
Where they martyrs for a circus?
Or was the jester only joking?
Hard to fight a fight
When nobody's hopin'
While you mow down your neighbour's lawn
Their mother weeping at the break of dawn
You're so caught up in all your hate
Only now realizing it's too late
Where have all the flowers gone?
Where have all the flowers gone?
You with your suits soaked in red
That your wife bleaches every night you go to bed
Drench yourself in money, sex and tv
To bury you in all the violence you cannot see
When the wall fell they told me that it would change
After the war they told me that it would change
Well there is one thing I've learned and that's it'll never change
Not with how it is going now
And there is one thing that's certain
That's we're going down
Where have all the flowers gone?
That bloomed when they sang their song
What happened to the wind set to change the tide?
The wind of change that blew far and wide
Where they martyrs for a circus?
Or was the jester only joking?
Hard to fight a fight
When nobody's hopin'
