Flowers On The Battlefield - Jane Wiedlin

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?
