Flower Man Lyrics - Saudades De Rock - Extreme

He speaks of meekness being no sign of weakness 

Gently placing the flower in the 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 

And offer sacrificing on the altar of love, 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 ain't appeasing like it's always the season 

Never needing to weather the storm 

Betting on your better angels, ignoring human nature 

In truth, better to let it go 

Lion and lamb lay in your land of make pretend 

Forgetting every soldier and son 

Lest you care to measure all the blood and the treasure 

Must be something worth fighting for 

No, is it worth fighting for? 

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, liberty is a well armed lamb 

Ladies and gentlemen 

I give you flower man 

Love is on the way 

Love is on the way 

Or so they say 

He speaks of meekness being no sign of weakness 

Gently placing the flower in the 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 he answer, turn the other cheek 

And offer sacrificing on the altar 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, liberty is a well armed lamb
