Danger lurks in every alleyway, top 2 percent out of touch
No one learns from the lessons of history, sometimes flowers ain't enough

They fill your hearts with ancient mystery, no one knows who to trust
It's too late when you discover that sometimes flowers ain't enough

Chorus:
Give it up give it up
Give it up give it up
Give it up give it up
Why don't you give it up?
Sometimes flowers ain't enough

Hunger, anger, propaganda, ain't it time we all grew up?
We all got dreams but nobody's listening, sometimes flowers ain't enough

Chorus

Death, starvation, exploitation, helpless, homeless, furious
Mass confusion, disillusion, sometimes flowers ain't enough

I can't see God, the trees are in the way, can't see hope, can't find love
Every man killed is an insult to any faith, sometimes flowers ain't enough

Chorus

Give it up give it up
Give it up give it up
We all sing, "Thanks for the memories"
Sometimes flowers ain't enough
