WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE
words and music by Pete Seeger
performed by Pete Seeger and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Taken husbands every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

2. the flowers went to Croton on Hudson

for the www.clearwater.org music fest. Arlo won't be there, but Pete Seeger will! :kick:/r

3. Recommended, for Pete, for Woody and his kid who made good too,

for Mr. Zimmerman, and for Mr. Springsteen, who continues to strive to be not just a hero, but a credit to his own heroes.

:thumbsup:

4. Need it be said?

"Same shit
different asshole."

[Erika]

5. When will we ever learn

The majority of Americans knew we had no reason to go into Iraq. None on the 9/11 bombers were Iraqis, OBL was Saudi. We didn't go after him.

When will we ever learn that we can't trust politicians. They lie. Their corporatists buds flourish, our troops die.

When will we ever learn.

Excellent post.
