[Saudades de Rock] Flower Man

 

 

 

 

He speaks of meekness being no sign of weakness gently placing a flower in gun
well intended pacifism a naive idealism singing his favorite lennon song
bleeding heart insisting preach the path of least resisting milk and honey rolling off of his tongue
'war is not the answer turn the other cheek n offer' sacrificing on the alter of love
Flower Man singing let's all give peace a chance
flower man keep your head buried in the sand
flower man you're my enemy's best friend
flower man you misguided utopian
peace in appeasing like it's always in season neverneeding to weather the storm
betting on your better angels, ignoring human nature in truth red in tooth and in claw
lion and lamb lay in your land of make pretend forgetting every soldier unsung
lest you care to measure, all the blood and the treasure must be something worth fighting for?
flower man singing let's all give peace a chance
flower man turning sword into plowshare
flower man you're my enemy's best friend
flower man liberty is a well armed lamb (man)
love is on the way, love is on the way or so they say
