Lyrics Flowers On The Battlefield - Jane Wiedlin

Flowers On The Battlefield

Every life that’s thrown away
And every drop of blood
Spilled between opposing sides
And trampled in the mud
Innocence gets crushed beneath
The anger and desire
And everything that’s pure and good
Gets caught in the crossfire
Love has got to grow or die
Flowers on the battlefield
Can anything out there stay alive?
Flowers on the battlefield
Can love survive?
In wartime every color bleeds
There is no law but might
And shades of grey replace what once was
Seen as black or white
All that’s dear will disappear
And all that blossomed fade
The emptiness of hate will spread
Till nothing else remains
Love has got to grow or die
Flowers on the battlefield
Can anything out there stay alive?
Flowers on the battlefield
Can love survive?
Flowers on the battlefield
Can anything out there stay alive?
Flowers on the battlefield
Can love survive?
Flowers brave the bullets
That are pouring down like rain
Raining, raining, raining
Love’s just got to grow or die
Flowers on the battlefield
Can anything out there stay alive?
Flowers on the battlefield
Can love survive?
Flowers on the battlefield
Can anything out there stay alive?
Flowers on the battlefield
Can love survive?
Oh, can love survive?
Hey, can love survive?
Yeah, can love survive?
