The 20th Century
In the 20th century
We went to war to set us free
Where had all those flowers gone
We left the cold and dead
To end the hate
And then we said
Don’t ever let it fade away
What’s here today
In the 20th century
We heard a lot of talk
From the young and free
Where have all those flowers gone
Throw down your bombs and guns
And celebrate the love underneath the sun
Don’t ever let it fade away
What’s here today
What’s here today
Soldier boys of fortune
Crash through enemy lines
Nobody wins
You get to the end,
Just to do it all again
The 20th century is history, a memory
Where have all those flowers gone
Guns blaze and life goes cold
Another bloody dollar in a pot of gold
Don’t ever let it fade away
What’s here today
What’s here today
Don’t ever let it fade away
What’s here today
What’s here today
What’s here today
What’s here today
What’s here today
La-la la-la la-la
La-la la…la
La-la la-la la-la
La-la la…la
La-la la-la la-la
La-la la…la
