Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, where have all the flowers gone?
A long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girl, they picked up everyone
(When will they ever learn?)
(When will they learn?)
When will they ever learn?
[Verse 2]
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
They've gone to graveyards, every one
(When will they ever learn?)
(When will they learn?)
[Verse 3]
(When will they learn, ever learn?)
(When will they learn?)
(When and when will they learn, ever learn?)
[Verse 4]
(When will they ever learn?)
Will they ever?
(When will they ever) Learn? Yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Where have all the flowers gone?
A long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
The graveyard, oh
(When will they ever learn?)
(When will they learn?)
Oh, ever learn
[Verse 6]
Ooh, if you don't know what we're talkin' about
We say this there's too many starvin' children
If you don't know what we're talkin' about
When we say we're killin' each other
And we just ain't got time for ya, brother, no, no
Hey, hey, you don't know what we're talkin' about
When we say we're livin' in a last day of time
No, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, if you don't know
No, no, no, no
