Flowers of Evil Lyrics[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
But we never dreamed when he was leaving
That he would taste the flowers of evil
[Verse 2]
I know his habit was not so bad
When for fifty dollars it could be had
But now he's 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

[Chorus 2]
But we never dreamed when he was leaving
That he would taste the flowers of evil

[Verse 3]
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?
Is the price of the peace worth the price of war?
Is the price of peace worth the price of war?
Is the price of peace worth the price of war?
