Flowers of Evil |
| Oh can you tell me Oh how the joy |
| Passed from his childhood That’s not my boy |
| I see he’s finished, he’s run his race |
| We’re not his family that’s not his face |
| We taught him well And from his youth |
| He knew he always Must know the truth |
| He left his country to go to war |
| When he returned, he’d found we closed the door |
| But we never dreamed when he was leaving |
| That he would taste the flowers of evil |
| I know his habit was not so bad |
| When for fifty dollars it could be had |
| But now he' home to his promised land |
| And what he needs got to cost a Grand |
| When he’d been home for six month’s time |
| My son he told me, he’d made up his mind |
| He’s re-enlisted for three years more |
| It’s too expensive to stop this war |
| Oh can you tell me Oh how the joy |
| Passed from his childhood That’s not my boy |
| He’s re-enlisted for three years more |
| Is the price of peace worth the price of war? |
